Title
Vivre dans un quartier de Montréal vers 1930
Abstract
A history of the evolution of Point St. Charles, a working class neighbourhood of Montreal, from the mid-nineteenth century to 1930. The author focusses on three representatives families who lived in the area during this period: the Irish Catholic Mullins family, the Scottish Protestant Turnbull family, and the French Canadian Catholic Galarneau family. The author also explains the ethnic-demographic change within Point St. Charles between 1891 and 1921 -- the growth of the English-speaking Protestant community, the consolidation of the French-speaking Catholic community, and the relative decline of the English-speaking Irish Catholics. In 1921, Point St. Charles was made-up of forty-two percent Anglophone Protestants, thirty-one percent Francophone Catholics, eleven percent Irish Catholics, eleven percent new immigrants, mostly from Eastern Europe, and five percent of mixed ethnicity (the mother and father of different ethnic backgrounds).
