A family name on East 21st Avenue, Riley Park, Kensington-Cedar Cottage and Renfrew-Collingwood
The Hunters
In the city directories 1940 · two people at two addresses
The directories print two people named Hunter at two addresses in 1940, all on East 21st Avenue. 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 118 other streets too, all listed on the Hunter name's own page.

The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists F G Hunter at 127 East 21st Avenue; 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, where each person's work is printed, lists Francis G Hunter there as the householder, a dairyman at Crystal Dairy. In 1940 the directory lists G P Hunter at 2613 East 21st Avenue. The 1940 name section lists George P Hunter there as the householder, a painter.

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.
