Where is this?
« on: Wednesday 15 July 15 10:03 BST (UK) »
In 1901 and 1911 I've come across someone born in Woodlands, Somerset.
 
I'm having a bit of a problem locating the Place  :(

Any help would be appreciated

There is a Somerset Gazetteer at http://www1.somerset.gov.uk/archives/Maps/smplgaz1.htm#W which has Woodlands, East Woodlands, and West Woodlands with links to maps
See the map http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16&lat=51.1611&lon=-3.2021&layers=6 for Woodlands.
