Again at one stage I also thought the road name might be French. And was trying to think of any road that might begin Le... as an enumerator might have actually had a person who was not local, i.e. perhaps not born here, give him the road name. Or the enumerator was an outsider and the dialect got him. But since my previous post I think I now favour Russell.
