What they did
The name section prints a trade for two of the four: a driver (2). One is a widow, listed under her own name.
Their neighbourhoods
The address is in Kitsilano. 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
In 1940 the directory lists Mrs M Everall at 1943 West 2nd Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Mary Everall there as the householder, widow of E, with Elmer Everall, Lloyd Everall, a driver, and Norman Everall, a driver.
Today
The City no longer lists 1943 West 2nd, 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.
