The Scotts

In the city directories 1940 · 13 people at seven addresses

The directories print 13 people named Scott at seven addresses in 1940, all on West 7th Avenue. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: three Scotts at 2135 West 7th in 1940. The directories print the name on 173 other streets too, all listed on the Scott name's own page.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Kitsilano (5), Fairview and West Point Grey. 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 M E Scott at 1444 West 7th 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, where each person's work is printed, lists Mildred E Scott there as the householder, widow of A, with Gordon A Scott, a dispatcher at Ginger Coote Airways. In 1940 the directory lists J Scott at 2135 West 7th Avenue. The 1940 name section lists John Scott there as the householder, a laborer, with Lena Scott, a domestic, and William Scott, a winder at British Ropes.

The 1940 name section lists Mrs Annie E Scott at 2406 West 7th Avenue, with Phoebe E Scott, a stenographer at BC Plywoods. L D Scott is listed at 2614 West 7th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Lorne D Scott there as the householder, a painter, with John M Scott, a salesman at Guernsey Breeders' Dairy. The 1940 name section lists Robert F Scott at 3347 West 7th Avenue, an elevator operator at the Georgia Hotel.

In 1940 the directory lists W C Scott at 3350 West 7th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists W Clement Scott there as the householder, a machinist for Sigurdson Millwork. In 1940 the directory lists B P Scott at 4619 West 7th Avenue. The 1940 name section lists Bertram P Scott there as the householder, a civil engineer, with Nita O Scott, an operator at the BC Telephone.

Today

2614 West 7th, 3347 West 7th, 3350 West 7th and 4619 West 7th still have their buildings from before 1946; the City no longer lists 1444 West 7th, 2135 West 7th and 2406 West 7th, so those buildings are 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.
