Where is / was Elwall? and Oakwood Mill? (General)

I was looking at the 1841 census index and following up a forum posting re Jinkins / Elsmore / Willis and I noticed that the Bream Tufts and Elwall box/piece/folio numbers are contiguous.

I am assuming that Bream Tufts is the present day The Tufts Bream but can't find Elwall on old or modern maps.

So where was Elwall - as opposed to Elwood - which I have found?

Second questions - I am assuming that when Thomas Jenkins dies in 1845 and gives his residence as Oakwood Mill, it means the building called Oakwood Mill marked on an old Bream map and not a hamlet of houses near Bream.

Many thanks
