The Kennedys
In the city directories 1940 · four people at three addresses
The directories print four people named Kennedy at three addresses in 1940, all on East Georgia Street. 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 addresses are in Hastings-Sunrise (2) and Strathcona. 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
The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists George Kennedy at 207 East Georgia Street. W Kennedy is listed at 2925 East Georgia Street 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 William Kennedy there as the householder, a fisherman, with Teresa W Kennedy, a stenographer at BC Packers.
Mrs E J Kennedy is listed at 3125 East Georgia Street in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Mrs Eva J Kennedy there as the householder.
Today
2925 East Georgia still has its building from before 1946, dated 1923 by the City's record; 3125 East Georgia (1971) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 207 East Georgia, 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 K. Want a name removed? Tell us.
