Edward Arthur Chichester Studd was a broker. He lived at 1833 Comox Street in 1911.
Family Background
Edward Arthur Chichester Studd was born at Oxton House in Kenton, Devonshire, on March 13, 1880. He was the oldest son of Edward Fairfax Studd (1855-1942), who was a lawyer and justice of the peace.
On April 3, 1877, in Shirwell, Devonshire, Edward Fairfax Studd married Evelyn Chichester (1854-1947).
Evelyn was the third daughter of Sir Arthur Chichester (1822-1898), the eighth baronet of Youlston, North Devon.

Edward’s Early Life
In 1888, Edward went away to school. The 1891 census indicated that he was a student, living with his parents in Kenton, Devonshire, although he was probably living at the school at that time. He later attended Eton.
In 1900, he became a fellow of the Entomological Society of London.
By 1901, he was a metallurgical chemist. He was living in Seacroft, Yorkshire, which is a suburb of Leeds.
Edward in Canada
Edward travelled to Canada in the early 1900s. By 1905, he was in Hedley City, British Columbia, where he was the managing director of Pollock Mines, Limited.
While on a trip on Vancouver Island in 1905, he and his fellow travellers had an encounter with a bear.
Edward first appeared in the Vancouver directories in 1907.
He lived at the following addresses in Vancouver.
| 1907 | 1158 Seaton Street |
| 1908 | Terminal City Club |
| 1909 and 1910 | number 201, Granville Mansions |
| 1911 | 1833 Comox Street |
| 1912 to 1915 | Angus Avenue and Marpole Avenue |
| 1916 to 1920 and 1922 to 1923 | Granville Street near 34th Avenue |
| 1921 to 1923 | number 22, 9050 Bidwell Street (Cambridge Apartments) |
| 1924 to 1958 | 3322 West 35th Avenue |
By 1908, he was the president of the Daly Investment Company Limited. (Harold Mayne Daly (1880-1969) lived at 875 Chilco Street from 1911 to 1915.)
In 1908, Edward applied for a liquor licence for the Commercial Hotel in Hedley.
In 1909, Edward had another adventure involving a bear. He and Arthur Dodd took Edward’s motor yacht, the Grey Lady, on a trip up the British Columbia coast, hoping to attract and capture a small live bear by using rancid butter as a lure. There is no information on whether they were successful or not.
By 1910, Edward was the first-named member of the Studd and Daly brokerage business in Vancouver.
On March 28, 1910, in London, Ontario, Edward married Evelyn Maud Mary Holmes. She was born in Esquimalt, British Columbia, on June 16, 1890. Her father was Josiah Greenwood Holmes (1845-1928), who was a career soldier. Evelyn’s mother was Elizabeth Kew (1850-1926).
In May 1910, Edward and Evelyn were in England, where they planned to remain until the spring of 1911.
By the fall of 1910, however, they were back in Vancouver. For a time they took rooms at Glencoe Lodge, while they waited until their new house at Shaughnessy Heights was ready. In 1911, Edward’s entry in the Vancouver directory said that he was at 1833 Comox Street. At the time of the 1911 Canada census, Edward and Evelyn were staying with Evelyn’s sister, Anna, and Anna’s husband, Richard Marpole. (In the 1911 census, Edward’s and Evelyn’s surname is written as “Sudd.”)
Edward was a founding member of the Shaughnessy Heights Golf Club in 1911.
From 1912 to 1915, Edward and Evelyn were in their house at the corner of Angus Drive and Marpole Avenue in Shaughnessy Heights. (The house has had several addresses, including 1707 Angus Drive, 3537 Angus Drive, and 1733 Angus Drive).
It appears that the firm of Studd and Daly did not continue after 1915. On May 7, 1915, Harold Daly was one of the survivors when a German U-boat sank the Lusitania off the coast of Ireland. By the end of the First World War, Harold Daly was living in Ottawa, Ontario.
In 1915, the Studd family moved from their house on Angus Drive to a house on the east side of Granville Street, north of 34th Avenue. Grange Viret Holt (1863-1929), the manager of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, moved into the house on Angus Drive.
In 1915 and 1916, Edward was the secretary-treasurer of the Shaughnessy Heights Golf Club. When he retired on May 11, 1916, the members of the golf club gave him a Lee Enfield rifle with an engraved plaque.
In 1920, Edward was a director of the Foundation Company of British Columbia, Limited. This company of engineers and general contractors built foundations for large industrial sites.
In 1921, the Vancouver directory described Edward as a conductor for the Canadian Pacific Railway. He was living at number 22, 950 Bidwell Street. (By 1922, his occupation was “contractor,” so the 1921 occupation may not be accurate.)
In 1924 he was the cargo superintendent for the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. He was living at 3322 West 35th Avenue, which remained the family address until the late 1950s.
Edward worked for the Royal Mail lines until he retired about 1945. He died in Burnaby, British Columbia, on February 12, 1958.
Evelyn died in Shellbrook, Saskatchewan, in September 17, 1962, while visiting with her daughter, Mary, who was living with Mary’s husband, John Zamulinski.
Edward and Evelyn had the following children.
Mary E. Studd
Mary E. Studd was born in British Columbia in 1914, probably in Vancouver.
In 1921 she was living with her parents in Vancouver.
Until 1947 she was still living in Vancouver. She was a stenographer with the Bank of Montreal.
She married John Joseph Zamulinski (1909-1970).
Mary died in 1999, probably in Saskatchewan.
James Edward Arthur Studd
James Edward Arthur Studd was born about 1916 in British Columbia, probably in Vancouver.
In 1921 he was living with his parents in Vancouver.
He studied music, and received his performer’s certificate from the Toronto Conservatory of Music.
He went to England, where he was trying to get work with the help of Stuart Hibberd, who was chief announcer with the BBC.
He died in 1938 from meningitis, while he was visiting his cousins Nannie and Chrissie Chichester in Lympstone, near Exeter, Devonshire. He was buried in the churchyard at Lympstone.
Sources
On April 12, 2017, Brian Zamulinski provided some additional information about this family.
“I was most interested in your biography of my grandfather. You provide information that I never knew but I can provide some additional information. His nickname was Chick, from Chichester. He was probably not at home at Oxton in 1891. He was first sent away to school in 1888 (I saw a letter from the headmaster about how he was settling in) and later attended Eton. He was the eldest son. He managed to lose what was intended to be the inheritance of his ten or eleven siblings, so it was necessary to break the entail on the estates. It was a substantial sum of money. The loss was due to his being cheated by his partner, according to his brother, my great uncle Quintus, or to investing in a hotel that ended up not being on the main rail line, according to his cousin Naomi. It did result in his having to take any job he could, so his becoming a conductor would have been possible. Evelyn (his wife) did not move to Shellbrook, but became ill and died on a visit. James Antony (his son) is buried in the churchyard at Lympstone, Devon, where he died while staying with cousins Nannie and Chrissie Chichester. It was meningitis and he died just after turning 22. Lympstone is near Exeter. James Antony received his performer’s certificate from the Toronto Conservatory of Music. He was trying to get work with the help of Stuart Hibberd who was chief announcer with the BBC. My grandfather always wore a goatee in later life. He was playing with gunpowder, pouring it on rocks, and igniting it. Some slipped down some cracks in the rock and a piece of rock hit him in the chin, necessitating the camouflage.”
