A family name on West 13th Avenue, Fairview, Mount Pleasant, Kitsilano and West Point Grey
The Hollands
In the city directories 1940 · three people at two addresses
The directories print three people named Holland at two addresses in 1940, all on West 13th Avenue, with the close spelling Holand. 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 35 other streets too, all listed on the Holland name's own page.

The story, address by address
The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Bert Holland at 1276 West 13th Avenue, an insurance adjuster, with Henry B Holland, an adjuster for J H Hazelwood. A H Holland is listed at 4174 West 13th 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 Arthur H Holland there as the householder.
Today
4174 West 13th (2001) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1276 West 13th, 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.
