Help With Old Handwriting

I have found this odd journal in an old Victorian wrapper from the late 19th century.

I am unable to find out a name written on the first page... Elgorlden... Elforlden... Elgoolden... Elfoolden...??? Any ideas?




It is entirely very hard to read, but I know that here are some folks who like to read this kind of stuff. I have scanned January and December, but can scan all pages, if anyone will be more into it... I gave up after first lines :)

I think it ends with "deu". I'll suggest Eljorldeu, though the middle "l" could be a quick "t" to make Eljortdeu. In any case, an interesting name to say the least.

May I suggest E Goulden?

I'm thinking it is a place name; perhaps on the Dutch/Baltic coast?

GeoffHa - a good suggestion, it could be Goulden or even Goolden.

IkeyPike... it could be...

Partime... with that "lj" it could be somewhere on the Nordic (Danish? Swedish) cost...

Maybe this could be connection:
