A family name on West 18th Avenue, Dunbar-Southlands, Riley Park, South Cambie, Shaughnessy and Arbutus Ridge
The Sutherlands
In the city directories 1940 · six people at two addresses
The directories print six people named Sutherland at two addresses in 1940, all on West 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: four Sutherlands at 195 West 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
In 1940 the directory lists Miss C Sutherland at 195 West 18th Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Christina Sutherland there as the householder, a nurse, with George W Sutherland, a miner, and Kath A Sutherland, a clerk at Spencer's. In 1940 the directory lists I G Sutherland at 3964 West 18th 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 lists Ivan G Sutherland there as the householder, a scaler, with Gordon M Sutherland, a longshoreman.
Today
195 West 18th (1990) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 3964 West 18th, 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.
