Vancouver / Names / E / Elliott / West 35th Avenue

A family name on West 35th Avenue, Dunbar-Southlands, Shaughnessy and Arbutus Ridge

The Elliotts

In the city directories 1940 · five people at three addresses

The directories print five people named Elliott at three addresses in 1940, all on West 35th Avenue, 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 3877 West 35th in 1940. The directories print the name on 97 other streets too, all listed on the Elliott name's own page.

What they did

The name section prints a trade for three of the five: a physician, a president and a school teacher.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Arbutus Ridge, Dunbar-Southlands and Shaughnessy. Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.

The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Byron S Elliott at 1828 West 35th Avenue, a physician. R J Elliott is listed at 2129 West 35th Avenue 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 Robert J Elliott there as the householder, a president at Elliott's Stores.

Miss O E Elliot is listed at 3877 West 35th Avenue in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Olga E Elliot there as the householder, a school teacher, with Mary C Elliot.

Today

1828 West 35th and 3877 West 35th still have their buildings from before 1946; the City no longer lists 2129 West 35th, 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 E. Want a name removed? Tell us.
