A family name on East Broadway, Mount Pleasant, Grandview-Woodland, Kensington-Cedar Cottage and Hastings-Sunrise
The Kennedys
In the city directories 1940 · three people at three addresses
The directories print three people named Kennedy at three addresses in 1940, all on East Broadway. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The directories print the name on 91 other streets too, all listed on the Kennedy name's own page.

The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists G M Kennedy at 321 East Broadway. A E Kennedy is listed at 860 East Broadway in 1940. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Albert E Kennedy there as the householder, a bookkeeper at the Province.
A C Kennedy is listed at 1759 East Broadway in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Alex C Kennedy there as the householder, who worked for Restmore.
Today
The City no longer lists 321 East Broadway, 860 East Broadway and 1759 East Broadway, 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 K. Want a name removed? Tell us.
