Apparently the St. Neots workhouse was at Eaton Socon, Bedfordshire

Who were you looking for?

Hi Mrsben

You might find this site helpful (it has photographs and a plan):

http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?StNeots/StNeots.shtml

As  Barbara says the new workhouse is in Eaton Socon.  From the above web site I guess that it lies on the north-east side of the junction between the Great North Road and St Neots road.

All the best

Hi Gobbo, yes that's the same website as Linda gave earlier, it's a very good site

but I'm still trying to find the actual workhouse in the 1871 census, normally it would be listed in the enumeration districts  Undecided

Hi Barbara

I notice from the web site, which gives the 1881 census, that  Eaton socon is in Bedfordshire so Mrsben was right when talking about the St Neots workhouse in Beds.

All the best

Yes, she is right, but the older one was in St Neots I believe!

Yes Barbara, there was a small workhouse in St Neots before the 'new' one was built in 1841/2.  The new one concentrated the inmates from a number of small workhouses in and around St Neots.

   Barbara....

It is listed as St Neots union Workhouse.

one of the pages is ...

RG10/1536 F 124 PAGE 37

it runs to page 43 where there is the last entry.

   Does that help?

Yes thanks Tazzie, it does, got it now, (how very odd that it's not listed on the enumeration page I looked at)  but still waiting for mrsben to tell us all who she's looking for, will bookmark it until I know if she wants an actual person look-up! Don't think I'll list all the inmates if there are 7 pages of them

I notice in the 1871 workhouse there is also a Rachel Woodham age 4 born Stow, Hunts.
Back to 1861 in Stow, Hunts there is a Thomas Woodham age 3 (OK its says born Stow & in 1871/1881 he says he's born Eaton) with parents Richard & Fanny, & William F age 6 & Charles 7 mnths. Could that be him ?

Have you got Thomas's father from his marriage to Martha Edis in St Neots 3b/669 in Oct/Dec 1879

I'm also interested in the 'Hilson' name as I have a number of Hillsons in my tree from Little/Great Staughton

Yes John's right,

1871 RG10/1536 Fol.124 P.42
Rachel Woodham pauper inmate 4    b. Hunts, Stow

Thomas Woodham   "          "       13  b. Beds, Eaton Socon

in between them are John & Esther Wakefield & 4 children - don't know if that means anything to you, odd if Thomas & Rachel are related that they weren't listed next to each other
