A family name on West 32nd Avenue, Dunbar-Southlands, Shaughnessy and Arbutus Ridge
The McIntyres
In the city directories 1940 · three people at two addresses
The directories print three people named McIntyre at two addresses in 1940, all on West 32nd Avenue, with the close spellings MacIntyre and Macintyre. 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 56 other streets too, all listed on the McIntyre name's own page.

The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists K C McIntyre at 1178 West 32nd Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Ken C McIntyre there as the householder, a clerk at H R MacMillan Export. In 1940 the directory lists G H McIntyre at 3356 West 32nd 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 lists Gordon H McIntyre there as the householder, a clerk at the CPR, with Anne McIntyre, widow of H B.
Today
3356 West 32nd (2013) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1178 West 32nd, 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 M. Want a name removed? Tell us.
