The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists R A Sutherland at 2841 West 35th 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 Robert A Sutherland there as the householder, with Margaret Sutherland, a stenographer for Northwestern Mutual. In 1940 the directory lists G C Sutherland at 3249 West 35th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists George C Sutherland there as the householder, a telegraph operator.

In 1940 the directory lists C A Sutherland at 3845 West 35th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Charles A Sutherland there as the householder, an engineer, with Margaret Sutherland, a fur finisher. In 1940 the directory lists P Sutherland at 3930 West 35th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Peard Sutherland there as the householder, who worked for the BC Telephone.

Today

3845 West 35th still has its building from before 1946, dated 1923 by the City's record; 3930 West 35th (2002) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2841 West 35th and 3249 West 35th, 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.
