The addresses are in Kensington-Cedar Cottage and Kerrisdale. 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 F W Winteringham at 4567 Prince Albert 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). The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Francis W Winteringham there as the householder, a salesman at Dueck-Nicoll. In 1940 the directory lists D F Winteringham at 2370 West 47th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists David F Winteringham there as the householder, a sales manager for A W Carter.
Today
2370 West 47th (1996) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 4567 Prince Albert, 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 W. Want a name removed? Tell us.
