    3. I've had an off-list message about a house called Elliston Lodge in Bristol. As I have a resource, which pinpoints some of the individually named houses in Bristol, I was able to find that Elliston Lodge was in Elliston Road, Redland in 1882. In 1882, most of the houses in Elliston Road weren't numbered, but had individual names including Ahern House, Merton Villa, Oldcleve Villa, Newlands, Melrose Vill, Eddystone, Roseville, Sidney Lodge, Brockley Villa, Myrtle Lodge, Carr Villa, The Grove, Ivythorne Villa, The Glen, Leecroft, Huntley Villa, Stockwell House, Wynn House, Gordon House, Trinmore Lodge and Park Cottage. Elliston Lodge was between No. 4 Bangor Lodge and the unnumbered Ahern House. Kelly's Bristol Directories of 1923 and 1935 have entries in Elliston Road for one member of the family being researched, but there is no mention of Elliston Lodge or the other named houses. Elliston Road is still in existence so can be found on Google maps. I see that there is a 1902 copy of an Old Ordnance Survey Map of Redland available from Alan Godfrey Maps. Information about the 1902 Redland map is on the following web page. http://www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk/gloucs7112.htm -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
