Vancouver / Names / S / Sutherland / West Broadway

A family name on West Broadway, Fairview, Mount Pleasant, Kitsilano and West Point Grey

The Sutherlands

In the city directories 1940 · six people at three addresses

The directories print six people named Sutherland at three addresses in 1940, all on West Broadway. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: four Sutherlands at 3128 West Broadway in 1940. The directories print the name on 95 other streets too, all listed on the Sutherland name's own page.

What they did

The name section prints a trade for five of the six: an attendant, a driver, a longshoreman, a reporter and a salesman.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Fairview (2) and Kitsilano. 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 D L Sutherland at 1533 West Broadway. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Daniel L Sutherland there as the householder, a longshoreman. In 1940 the directory lists S J F Sutherland at 1765 West Broadway. The 1940 name section lists Stan J F Sutherland there as the householder, a reporter at the Province.

In 1940 the directory lists Mrs M Sutherland at 3128 West Broadway. The 1940 name section lists Mrs Margaret Sutherland there as the householder, with James A Sutherland, a driver at McGavin, Robert E Sutherland, a salesman at Polly Ann Bakeries, and Wilfred K Sutherland, an attendant at Standard Oil.

Today

The City no longer lists 1533 West Broadway, 1765 West Broadway and 3128 West Broadway, 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.
