The full address is given as 9, Eden Place, Guildford Street. (See 'Emma Short and the Shorts' p.3-4). Since this 1861 census was taken on April 27th Eliza should really be 1 year old.
Note from Nigel Scott-Moncrieff
Eliza Ann did have Pulmonary Tuberculosis on her death certificate and she may have suffered from it for most of her life. At least, she may have had it as a child and then it was reactivated in later life. (plausible, I know, as I am a doctor). It is likely that she was instructed , as a child to 'take it easy' and her parents may have been told to not let her do any physical work etc etc which may have been ingrained and shaped her personality as an adult.

It is noteworthy that Eliza is now calling herself Elizabeth though her birth certificate gives her names as ' Eliza Ann' and she was always known as 'Lizzie'. Lucy Bradley, nee Bradbury always indicated that Lizzie became a snob. It is noteworthy that though Lizzie housed her sister, Clara in 1881, she did not house her mother, Emma Bradley then.On the 1901 census, taken Sunday 31 March, PRO 13/2832, Folio 56, Page 7 the EnselIs were still living at 27, Upper Ryland Road (the Bellbarn Tavern) and Henry is still running the pub.

letter from Maureen ALAM dated 14 Oct 2004
I got the name Taplin Bradley from the marriage of George 1 and Emma SHORT. I believe Nigel S.M. has his own copy of that. As a postgraduate student I studied palaeography. On close examination of the marriage certificate and after consultation with two former colleagues who also studied palaeography I decided that the letter at the beginning of Taplin is quite possibly a ‘J’ not a ‘T’ so the name is possibly ‘Japlin’ not ‘Taplin’. I am more inclined to this view because The Oxford Dictionary of English Christian Names which purports to include all Christian names given to people in England from about 1300 onwards does not list the name ‘Taplin’ but includes ‘Joplin’ as pet forms of ‘Job’. (You may recall the jazz composer Scott Joplin, though in his case Joplin is his surname). It is therefore worthwhile looking for a ‘Job BRADLEY’ in Berkshire as well as looking for ‘Taplin’.Incidentally according to the family legend passed on by Emma SHORT to Lucy BRADLEY nee BRADBURY and thence passed on to Lucy’s children. George was not the son of anybody surnamed ‘BRADLEY’ but was the illegitimate son of a gardener surnamed ‘PEACE’ or ‘PEASE’ and a servant girl ‘at a big country house’. If this is true it would probably have been George’s mother who was surnamed ‘BRADLEY’ and perhaps her father was Japlin or Taplin BRADLEY. It is also possible that George’s mother’s family were not from Berkshire at all and therefore Job BRADLEY could be a Midlander or Northerner. It is also possible that George just invented the name of a father. Unfortunately the IGI for Berkshire does not include records from Newbury Parish Church.
Note from KF
The Mayors of Chesterfield 1598-2000 show Job BRADLEY as mayor in the following years:
1725, 1731, 1738, 1742, 1744, 1791 and 1794. There will be more than one Job BRADLEY here. Could there be a link?
