Yorkshire (West Riding) / Eldon Royd, Bradford?
« on: Tuesday 22 August 23 15:00 BST (UK) »
On my 2x great aunt's 1904 marriage cert, church of St Peter, it gives her residence as Eldon Royd, Bradford. But I can't find Eldon Royd on any of the street indexes on Genuki etc, via an address search on the census records, or even just a general google search. There's hits for Eldon Terrace and Eldon Place, so was/is Eldon Royd an area rather than a street name? I can't quite face scrolling through the entire 25-inch Bradford map series until I know it's not a wild goose chase.
She was a lady's maid at the time, and she'd only moved down from Hartlepool a year or two earlier, so I was hoping that finding out who her employer was could possibly give some leads as - as far as I'm aware - we had absolutely no connections to W Yorks at that point.
