Georgina Hayes
Toronto Daily Star, 26 July 1930
This is one of a number of photographs from the 1930s of young women or children that included their name and address. Nowadays, I think they call it "doxxing" (though the Star would not have had malicious intent when publishing the information). The modern trend towards privacy is so strong that I feel oddly guilty about republishing this.
I found both Georgina Hayes and her father, Joseph Hayes, in the 1930 Toronto city directory: Georgina worked as a stenographer, and Joseph was "with" J G Millar Co. Moving forward:
- In 1932, she was still at the same place, but her father had struck out on his own: he was now the president and manager of the Hayes Garment Co.
- Unfortunately, this enterprise might not have been successful: Joseph Hayes is still at 738 Shaw in 1935, but with no listed occupation. Georgina is still there.
- 1937 is unchanged from 1935, as is 1938.
- In 1939, Joseph is still at 738 Shaw, but Georgina is not. My best guess is that she got married and left her parents' home, but that's just a guess.
738 Shaw Street still stands - it seems like a nice enough place.
