The Hamiltons
In the city directories 1940 · two people at two addresses
The directories print two people named Hamilton at two addresses in 1940, all on Pendrell Street. 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 98 other streets too, all listed on the Hamilton name's own page.

The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists F J Hamilton at 1116 Pendrell Street. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Frank J Hamilton there as the householder, a division manager at Meyer's Studios. The 1940 name section lists Evelyn Hamilton at 1201 Pendrell Street, a comptroller operator at Boeings.
Today
1116 Pendrell (1976) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1201 Pendrell, 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 H. Want a name removed? Tell us.
