The Scotts

The directories print three people named Scott at three addresses in 1940, all on Pendrell 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 173 other streets too, all listed on the Scott name's own page.

The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Blanche Scott at 1331 Pendrell Street. The 1940 name section lists James Scott at 1346 Pendrell Street. The 1940 name section lists Jennie Scott at 1847 Pendrell Street, a clerk for Kelly Douglas.

Today

1346 Pendrell (1951) and 1847 Pendrell (1957) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1331 Pendrell, 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 S. Want a name removed? Tell us.
