A family name on Hemlock Street, Fairview
The Camerons
In the city directories 1940 · two people at two addresses
The directories print two people named Cameron at two addresses in 1940, all on Hemlock Street. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family. The directories print the name on 111 other streets too, all listed on the Cameron name's own page.

The story, address by address
The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Lyda Cameron at 2451 Hemlock Street, a forewoman for C Korsch. The 1940 name section lists Don B Cameron at 2925 Hemlock Street, a salesman at R&H Sawmill.
Today
The City no longer lists 2451 Hemlock and 2925 Hemlock, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).

Sources
Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under C. Want a name removed? Tell us.
