The Elliotts

In the city directories 1940 · six people at five addresses

The directories print six people named Elliott at five addresses in 1940, all on Haro 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 directories print the name on 97 other streets too, all listed on the Elliott name's own page.

The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Dave Elliott at 1036 Haro Street. Mrs K Elliott is listed at 1206 Haro Street in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Kate Elliott there as the householder, widow of W G.

W Elliott, rooms to let, is listed at 1308 Haro Street in 1940; the 1940 line is marked *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark). The 1940 name section lists Wilson Elliott there, who kept rooms to let. W C Elliott is listed at 1510 Haro Street in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists William C Elliott there as the householder, retired, with William A Elliott, a salesman.

C H Elliott is listed at 1945 Haro Street in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Clinton H Elliott there as the householder, in apartments.

Today

The City no longer lists 1036 Haro, 1206 Haro, 1308 Haro, 1510 Haro and 1945 Haro, 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.
