A family name on Granville Street, Downtown, Fairview, Shaughnessy, Kerrisdale, Oakridge and Marpole
The Elliotts
In the city directories 1940 · seven people at five addresses
The directories print seven people named Elliott at five addresses in 1940, all on Granville Street, with the close spelling Elliot. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: three Elliotts at 470 Granville in 1940. The directories print the name on 97 other streets too, all listed on the Elliott name's own page.

The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists K Vacations Elliott at 470 Granville Street. By 1940 it is Miss V K Elliott, a public stenographer. In 1940 the listing there is F W Elliott, a barrister. B S Elliott, a physician, is listed at 718 Granville Street in 1940.
The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Robert H W Elliott at 1221 Granville Street. The 1940 name section lists Mrs Bessie L Elliott at 2604 Granville Street, a proprietor.

Today
470 Granville and 1221 Granville still have their buildings from before 1946; the City no longer lists 718 Granville, 2604 Granville and 7255 Granville, 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 E. Want a name removed? Tell us.
