A family name on Vine Street, Kitsilano, Arbutus Ridge and Kerrisdale
The Youngs
In the city directories 1940 · two people at two addresses
The directories print two people named Young at two addresses in 1940, all on Vine Street. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family. The directories print the name on 137 other streets too, all listed on the Young name's own page.

The addresses are in Kerrisdale 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 A E Young at 1834 Vine Street. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Gilbert E Young at 5778 Vine Street, a clerk at Swifts.
Today
The City no longer lists 1834 Vine and 5778 Vine, 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 Y. Want a name removed? Tell us.
