Hubert Cecil Harold Cannon was a salmon canner and insurance broker. He lived at 1050 Chilco Street from about 1902 to 1908.
Early Life
Hubert Cecil Harold Cannon was born on March 9, 1870, in Southport, north of Liverpool, in Lancashire, England. His parents were Reverend James Deardon Cannon (1831-1904) and Katherine Dakeyne (1843-1902).
Hubert went to Merchant Taylors’ school, Repton School, and Peterhouse College at Cambridge, England. For some time, he was a Captain in the Loyal Lancashire Regiment.
To Canada
Hubert arrived in Canada in 1898.
He first appeared in the Vancouver directory for 1900-1901. He was the vice-president of United Canneries of British Columbia. He was living at “Rhodesia Lodge,” 1500 Robson Street, which was on the southwest corner of Robson Street and Nicola Street.
About 1900, Hubert also became a partner with Leslie Havelock Wright, an insurance broker who lived at 1865 Barclay Street from 1902 to 1910, and Frank Burnett, Junior, who lived at 1877 Comox Street from 1911 to 1913.
Marriage to Gertrude Moncrieff
On June 2, 1900, in Vancouver, Hubert married Gertrude Angela Moncrieff. She was born on October 21, 1879, in Newmarket, Ontario. Her parents were Frances Edward Moncrieff (1857-1884) and Jean Adamson (1861-1936).
The Vancouver directories show that Hubert continued to live at the corner of Robson Street and Nicola Street in 1901 and 1902.
In 1901, Hubert advertised in the Vancouver Province that he had lost the plans for a house: “Lost: Between Arcade and Post Office, or on Robson street car, large envelope addressed Hubert C.H. Cannon, containing plans of a house. Any one returning same to Wright, Cannon & Burnett, Hadden block, Granville St. (under Trorey’s) will be rewarded.” [Vancouver Province, December 23, 1901, page 3.]

A note on historical records for the Cannon house at Chilco Street and Comox Street
It appears that the lost plans were for Hubert’s new house at the corner of Chilco Street and Comox Street. However, there is an inconsistency in some of the historical information. Most likely the house was at 1050 Chilco Street.
Another possibility is that Hubert originally started to plan for a house on lot 14, at 1059 Chilco Street, but later changed to the house on lot 13, at 1050 Chilco Street.
The following entry is from Heritage Vancouver Society’s database of building permits: http://permits.heritagevancouver.org/ [searched February 8, 2015]:
| Municipality: | Vancouver |
| Permit: | |
| Owner: | Carmon, H. C. H. |
| Architect: | Dalton, W. T. |
| Builder: | Horrobin, T. |
| Legal Address: | DL: 185 Block: 70 Sub: Resub: Lot: 14 |
| Date (Y-M-D): | 1902-04-07 |
| Street Number: | |
| Street Name: | Comox Street & Chilco Street |
| Value: | $4,500.00 |
| Remarks: | Frame dwelling s.f. |
| Reference ID: | VN-8170-8171-10 |
The address for lot 14 is 1059 Chilco Street. However, the lot number for 1050 Chilco Street is actually lot 13.
Furthermore, according to the Vancouver directories from 1904 to 1908, as well as the 1908 Elite Directory of Vancouver, Hubert was living at 1050 Chilco.
Finally, there is this advertisement for another property at the corner of Comox Street and Chilco Street, which later became 2005 Comox Street:
Choice West End Corner: Vancouver Province, September 15, 1902, page 6. “$1250 buys N.W. corner Comox and Chilco Streets, diagonally across Comox from Mr. Cannon’s fine new residence. The lot is high and commands fine fiew of English Bay. It is one of the choice remaining corners in the west End, and is worth $1500. . . .C.S. Douglas & Co.; Land, Mining, Loan and Insurance Agents; 515 Hastings Street W.”
The Cannon family after the move to the Chilco Street house
In 1905, Gertrude went on a sea trip to the Orient: “Mrs. H.C. H. Cannon was a passenger on the Empress of China, which sailed on Monday. She will make a short visit to the Orient and is expected home on the return trip or the Empress of China.” [Social and Personal, Vancouver Province, September 9, 1905.]
In 1909, Hubert moved to 1522 Comox Street. From 1910 onward, he lived in a series of apartments, mostly in the West End and in downtown Vancouver.
In 1910, he was at Earlscourt, which was at 1103 Georgia Street. Thomas Dunn, who was a hardware merchant, built the house about 1889 on the north-west corner of the Georgia and Thurlow St. [Vancouver Museum, H985.1.1 – Large knight stained glass windowpane 1889; http://openmov.museumofvancouver.ca/node/73023.]
About 1910, Hubert became the president of Beach House Ltd., which operated on English Bay until about 1919.
In 1911 and 1912 , Hubert was living at at number 112, Blenheim Court, 1209 Jervis Street.
![Bleinheim Court Apartments, May 8, 1943, [http://www.gordonnelsoninc.com/apartments/1209-jervis-street/; original source: http://www3.vpl.ca/spePhotos/LeonardFrankCollection/02DisplayJPGs/264/25992.jpg]](https://westendvancouver.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/bleinheim-court-apartments-may-8-1943.jpg)
Military Service
In December 1915, Hubert signed his attestation papers to serve with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. He gave his address as Blenheim Court, at the corner of Jervis and Davie Street. He said that his birth date was May 9, 1871, which was apparently a year later than his actual birth.
After the War
After Hubert returned from his military service, he and Gertrude stayed at Blenheim Court until about 1930.
From 1930 to 1933, Hubert lived at the Clifton Rooms, which were at 1125 Granville Street.
In 1932, Gertrude moved to Englesea Lodge at 2046 Beach Avenue.
Hubert died in Vancouver on June 9, 1934, at Shaughessy Military Hospital in Vancouver. [The death certificate gave his normal residence as 3410 Point Grey Road. This was the home of Richard Henry Sheridan (about 1894-1949), who was the proprietor of Sheridan Language Schools.] Hubert was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver.
Gertrude: Later Life
On January 15, 1937, in Vancouver, Gertrude married Robert George Parkhurst, who was the Vancouver manager of a steamship company called the Royal Mail Lines. He was born in London, England on December 24, 1880. His parents were Robert John Parkhurst and Mary Ann Pugh.
Robert died in Vancouver on September 2, 1939. He was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver.
Gertrude died in Vancouver on June 10, 1977.
Hubert Cecil Harold Cannon and Gertrude Angela Moncrieff had the following children.
Cecil Deardon Moncrieff (“Pete”) Cannon
Cecil Deardon Moncrieff Cannon was born in Vancouver on May 21, 1901.
When he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War in April 1916, he added two years to his age, and gave his birthdate at May 21, 1899. He gave his occupation as “drummer” (which was a type of travelling salesman).
In August 1916, Cecil sailed to England with the Canadian military forces. In September 1916, Gertrude registered Cecil’s birth, giving his correct date of birth as May 21, 1901.
By January 1917, Cecil was struck off strength from the military because he was a minor, and he was discharged from service.
He later served with the military forces during the Second World War. He later worked as a mint craftsman for the federal government.
He and his wife, Sheila, had two daughters and one son. He died in Vancouver on May 31, 1976.

Herbert and Lorraine moved to Seattle, Washington.
Lorraine died in King County, Washington, in November 1978.
Herbert died in King County, Washington on August 12, 1990.

Ian Dakeyn [or Dakeyne] Cannon was born in Vancouver on April 18, 1911.
He worked in the marine transportation business. On May 14, 1938, in Washington State, he married Georgina Pirie.
While he was serving with the Canadian military forces during the Second World War, he was wounded in action, and died on October 26, 1944. He was buried in Bari War Cemetery, Bari, Provincia di Bari, Puglia, Italy.
Until the mid-1950s at least, Georgina worked as a stenographer for the Sheet Metal Workers Union. In 1955, she was living in unit 1, 2025 Cornwall Street in Vancouver.

Another uncle was Sir Thomas Moncrieff, the celebrated inventor. The bridges’ father died some years ago, after having moved to this country. His brother George is at present manager of the Royal Bank of Scotland. An aunt of the bride was the famous beauty, Lady Montague. The groom was Mr. Hubbert C.H. Cannon, Vice-President of the United Canneries of British Columbia. He came to this country about a year ago. Mr. Cannon is a son of the Rev. J.D. Cannon, of Holt, Derbyshire, England. The groom was for a number of years a Captain in the Loyal Lancashire Regiment.
