The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists Rev G H Stewart at 2165 West 37th 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 Rev G Hayden Stewart there as the householder. The 1940 name section lists Hur L M Stewart at 3042 West 37th Avenue, in men's clothing.
J W Stewart is listed at 3125 West 37th Avenue in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Joseph W Stewart there as the householder, a clerk at the Bank of Montreal.
Today
3125 West 37th still has its building from before 1946, dated 1925 by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2165 West 37th and 3042 West 37th, 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.
