A family name on Maple Street, Kitsilano, Shaughnessy and Kerrisdale
The Scotts
In the city directories 1940 · four people at two addresses
The directories print four people named Scott at two addresses in 1940, all on Maple Street. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: three Scotts at 1322 Maple in 1940. The directories print the name on 173 other streets too, all listed on the Scott name's own page.

The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists G F P Scott at 1322 Maple 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 G F Peter Scott there as the householder, proprietor of Scott-Foster & Co, with Kath E Scott, a student, and Ruth P Scott, a student at UBC. In 1940 the directory lists Mrs S J Scott at 1342 Maple Street. The 1940 name section lists Sarah J Scott there as the householder, widow of J G.

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 S. Want a name removed? Tell us.
