Help[Surname] Re: The name Ella or Aella
in reply to a message by Jim Young
I don't know about the one-word spellings. Ekwall and Mills both write these placenames as two words and so does the Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_Ella.

You're right. I've now looked at several local maps and all have Kirk Ella and West Ella. Locally, it seems to me, the two words tend to be written as one. My son tells me he daily passes a signpost pointing the way to "Kirkella". The road map covering the Kirk Ella area shows a West Ella Road with a Westella Way running parallel to it.
