Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Renfrew-Collingwood (3). 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

In 1940 the directory lists Mrs E M Myott at 4207 Atlin Street; 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 Mrs Elsie M Myott there as the householder, with Myrtle E Myott, a saleswoman at Woolworths. The 1940 name section lists Barbara D Myott at 3624 East 22nd Avenue, a saleswoman at Spencer's.

G Myott is listed at 4920 Moss Street in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Geoffrey Myott there as the householder, a warehouseman.

Today

4207 Atlin (1979), 3624 East 22nd (1974) and 4920 Moss (1999) have newer buildings, by the City's record.

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.
