A family name on West 4th Avenue, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Fairview and West Point Grey
The Crawfords
In the city directories 1940 · two people at two addresses
The directories print two people named Crawford at two addresses in 1940, all on West 4th Avenue. 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 70 other streets too, all listed on the Crawford name's own page.

The story, address by address
The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Marie S Crawford at 2039 West 4th Avenue, a clerk for F S Perry. The 1940 name section lists Greta Crawford at 4736 West 4th Avenue, a maid for K G Tatlow.
Today
4736 West 4th still has its building from before 1946, dated 1925 by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2039 West 4th, so that building is 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.
