Walter Livingston Coulthard was a physician. He lived at 821 Broughton Street from 1906 to 1913.
Family Background
Walter Livingston Coulthard was born in Valleyfield, Quebec on September 26, 1871 (although many sources give his birth year as 1872). His parents were Rev. Walter Coulthard (1829–1900) and Isabella Edith Kilgour (1839–1910).
Walter Coulthard, senior was a Presbyterian clergyman. He was born in Dumfriesshire, Scotland on April 7, 1829. After his arrival in Canada, he studied theology at Knox College in Toronto, Ontario. He was ordained on November 22, 1860.
On January 29, 1861, in Beauharnois, Quebec, Walter married Isabella Edith Kilgour. She was born in Beauharnois on December 14, 1839.
Walter Coulthard served with the Presbyterian Church in Quebec and Ontario. Around 1892, he retired and he went to live in Toronto. He died in Toronto on March 24, 1900.
Isabella Kilgour died in Toronto on April 8, 1910.
Walter Livingston Coulthard: Early Life
Walter Livingston Coulthard was baptized in Valleyfield, Quebec on February 21, 1872.
Walter went to high school at Picton, Ontario. From 1888 to 1890 he studied at the University of Toronto. From 1890 to 1894, he was a medical student.
In 1896, Walter became entitled to practice medicine in British Columbia.
In the late 1890s and early 1900s, Walter had a medical practice on Columbia Avenue in Rossland, British Columbia.
Marriage to Jean Robinson
On January 12, 1904, Walter married Jean Robinson.
Jean was born in Moncton, New Brunswick on August 13, 1882. Her parents were Joseph Millen Robinson (1848-1939) and Jessie Thorburn (1856–1940).
It is likely that Jean and Walter met in Rossland, since Jean’s father was a Presbyterian minister in Rossland from 1901 to 1903. The 1901 Rossland directory described Jean as a music teacher.
Jean also performed musical pieces at the Rossland opera house.
In December 1902, Rev. Robinson became a pastor in Dubuque, Iowa.
In January 1904, Walter Coulthard travelled to Iowa for his marriage to Jean.
The marriage was in Dubuque on January 12, 1904.
In the spring of 1904, Jean (now Mrs. Walter Coulthard) was appearing at concerts in Rossland.
Walter maintained his medical practice in Rossland until 1904.
Studies in Boston and New York
In 1904 and 1905, Walter completed further studies at Harvard University Medical School.
In 1905 he was at the Polyclinic Hospital in New York City.
To Vancouver
By the summer of 1905, Walter and Jean were in Vancouver.
They stayed briefly in the home of Mrs. James Reid, who lived at 1110 Melville Street. (James Reid (1832-1904) was a Canadian senator. His son, James Maxwell (“Max”) Kenneth Reid, married Margaret Innes Buscombe. Further information appears on the page for Buscombe, Frederick (1862-1938); https://westendvancouver.wordpress.com/biographies-a-m/biographies-b/buscombe-frederick-1862-1938/.)
By June 1905, Walter and Jean had moved to 821 Broughton Street.
For a time, Walter shared office space with Dr. Lachlan MacKechnie (1864-1926). (Further information on Dr. MacKechnie appears on this page: Mackechnie, Lachlan Neil (1864-1926); https://westendvancouver.wordpress.com/biographies-a-m/biographies-m/mackechnie-lachlan-neil-1864-1926/.)
Walter and Jean Coulthard became well-known participants in Vancouver’s musical scene.
Move to Marpole Avenue
In 1913, Walter and Jean built a new house at 1511 Marpole Avenue in Shaughnessy Heights.
The original name for the street was “Ferndale Avenue,” but by 1913, it had become “Marpole Avenue.” (Elizabeth Walker, Street Names of Vancouver, Vancouver Historical Society, 1999, page 87: Marpole Avenue.
