A family name in Vancouver's city directories
The Hazletts
In the city directories 1940 · six people at three addresses
The directories print six people named Hazlett at three addresses in 1940 in three of the city's neighbourhoods, with the close spelling Hazlette. 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 Hazletts at 1356 Barclay in 1940.

What they did
The name section prints a trade for two of the six: a school teacher and a warehouseman. Two are widows, listed under their own names.
Their neighbourhoods
The addresses are in Kitsilano, Renfrew-Collingwood and West End. 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 Miss S J Hazlette at 1356 Barclay Street. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Sally J Hazlette there as the householder, with John D Hazlette, a warehouseman at Macdonalds Consolidated. In 1940 the directory lists Mrs B M L Hazlett at 3320 Church Street; 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 Bertha M L Hazlett there as the householder, widow of W A, with Lillian M Hazlett, a school teacher at the Burnaby Corporation.
The 1940 name section lists Alice Hazlett at 2126 West 2nd Avenue, widow of R P.
Today
3320 Church (1994) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1356 Barclay and 2126 West 2nd, 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 H. Want a name removed? Tell us.
