A family name on East 18th Avenue, Riley Park, Kensington-Cedar Cottage and Renfrew-Collingwood
The Sutherlands
In the city directories 1940 · five people at two addresses
The directories print five people named Sutherland at two addresses in 1940, all on East 18th Avenue. 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 Sutherlands at 1257 East 18th in 1940. The directories print the name on 95 other streets too, all listed on the Sutherland name's own page.

The story, address by address

W G Sutherland is listed at 1257 East 18th Avenue in 1940; 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 lists Wilfred G Sutherland there as the householder, a presser at Kway Cleaners, with James G Sutherland, and Joseph Sutherland, a winder at the CN Institute.

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.
