Esholt, par. and vil. with ry. sta. L. M. S., W. R. Yorks, 5 1/2 m N. of Bradford; 691 ac. pop 359; eccl dist., 579; P.O. E. Hall is a seat.

That's from the 1950s-ish.

But Esholt's most famous for the sewage works  and I believe the local pub used to be (maybe still is) the Woolpack in Emmerdale.

Hi,

better late than never, justy spotted this posting.

Looking at the 1906 census for Regina, Saskatchewan,

sub district 37+A (City of Regina) Page 5, Schedule 1 Microfilm T-18359

Reading the image,

living at block 181 Scarth Street,

Bland, Frank, head, male, mar, 31, born England, came to Canada 1904,
Clara, wife, Female, mar, 29, England, came to Canada 1904,
Dorothy, Duaghter, female, single, 3, England, came to Canada 1904,

I'll keep looking,

OK,

not sure from this thread who else I should be looking for in 1906.

I didn't see Abraham Lionel Gilpin Bland.

Could someone summarize who we are expecting to be in Canada?

Thanks,

Sue

You were asking about the railway line through Sale - goes past Old Trafford Cricket Ground - been on it many many times!

Was one of the few suburban electric lines in the north.

Abraham Lionel Gilpin BLAND should be in Canada in 1906:

Malcolm Bland:
From 1904 until at least 1908 he farmed a homestead in Pengarth.

But there's a also a posibility thatJohn and Elizabeth Ann Gilpin (nee Boadman) are there too.

Just as a matter of interest I checked the Gilpin name in the 1901 census. There were 13 in Hunslet and 8 in Leeds. Going back to 1891 there were still 13 in Hunslet but 41 in Leeds.
Makes you wonder where they all disappeared to in those ten years.

That's intriguing, Nessie!

Wonder where they all went?

Hi,

Unfortunately I have had no more success with either the 1901 or 1906 Canadian census transcriptions.

The transcription project isn't yet complete so they could be there but can't be found.
