The Taylors
In the city directories 1940 · five people at five addresses
The directories print five people named Taylor at five addresses in 1940, all on West Georgia Street, with the close spelling Tylor. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The directories print the name on 214 other streets too, all listed on the Taylor name's own page.

The story, address by address
The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Charles Taylor at 108 West Georgia Street. The 1940 name section lists Mrs Ann Taylor at 1040 West Georgia Street. The 1940 name section lists Taylor (no first name printed) at 1167 West Georgia Street. The 1940 name section lists Frederick Taylor at 1301 West Georgia Street.
In 1940 the directory lists W Taylor at 1805 West Georgia Street; the 1940 line is marked *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark).
Today
1040 West Georgia (1985) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 108 West Georgia, 1167 West Georgia, 1301 West Georgia and 1805 West Georgia, 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 T. Want a name removed? Tell us.
