Philip Bond was an importer, exporter, and broker. He lived at 1831 Pendrell Street in 1917, and at 1869 Pendrell Street in 1918 and 1919. In 1920, he moved to 1771 Comox Street. In later 1920, he was at 1103 Denman Street.
Early Life
Philip Bond was born in Walton, near Liverpool, Lancashire, England, in June 1878. (The spelling of his first name varies between “Philip” and “Phillip.”) His parents were Nicholas Bond and Elizabeth Duffey. From 1881 to 1901, Philip was living with his parents in Lancashire.
To Vancouver
About 1910, he came to Vancouver, where he began working as a real estate broker. His first business was called Philip Bond & Co., with offices at No. 7, 619 West Hastings Street. Later, he established an importing business with John C. Fryer (probably John Cornelius Fryer).
On September 27, 1913, in Vancouver, Philip married Annie Martha Fielden. She was born about 1880 in Bradford, England. Her parents were John William Fielden and Jane Parker.
On July 26, 1920, in Vancouver, Philip Bond died. He was buried in Ocean View Burial Park in Burnaby, British Columbia.
Annie’s Second Marriage
On July 12, 1922, Annie married Henry Lauritz Nelson. He was born on April 3, 1884, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. He had served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. His parents were Charles Nelson and Francis Wall.
It appears that Henry (and perhaps Annie) went back to Australia for some time.
In 1927, Annie was living at 1434 Beach Avenue in Vancouver.
