Hi Eilleen :)
I can find Bede Houses - 12 of them - in the 1851 census. They were almshouses http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/poorhouse.html
close to the George in High St (Stamford St Martin) http://tinyurl.com/ylf5uza

Thank you Geoff,
much appreciated.
Eilleen.

Hello Eilleen :)
I presume you have already found William in the 1841 census but just in case there is a William Exton residing at St Leonard’s Street, St Georges, Stamford and listed as 60 years of age and a Male Servant.
Also living at the same address is Elizabeth Exton age shown as 55 and Edgar Reed age 20 and a Carrier.

Hello Geoff
I'm pretty sure those are the Almshouses in Station Road Stamford and backing onto the River Welland. I think they may also be referred to as Lord Burghleys’s Almshouses.

Hi Alan
Yes, I think you're right - in the aerial shot, they are just to the north of The George; you can see the trees in front.
Eilleen - of course, this is in Rutland not Lincs ;)

Rutland, :)
Where my name came from ;D
and where my ancestors breed , before moving to Boston, and then Lincoln.

Alan thank you for the census iformation,
I have never been able to get my head round William and William, ?? i.e who is who. ???
20/1/1847: William Exton absconded workhouse.
3/3/1847: William Exton regarding his apprehension and 7 year sentence for transportation
19/7/1848: William Exton, St. George, inflamed leg, given relief. (I think this means he wasn’t in the workhouse itself)
.
26th June 1848, William Exton, died in the Bede house, Stamford.
However, the older Wm died 26 June 1848 in Bedihouse, Saint Martin’s, Stamford so may entry three belongs to the younger Wm?

I wonder if this one is one of those? http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/convictsdetails.asp?id=2704

Where my name came from ;D
Actually, I have just discovered that one of my ancestral branches came from may have come from from Exton, but no one seems able to help :'(

That's my relly going for a holiday in Burmuda ;D ;D
but I don't think its the ones I was looking for in Stamford, ???
If I had known about yours , I would have looked at the headstones when I went round the Exton graveyard.

Hi again Eilleen
Just to confuse matters even more I've come across the burial as being on the 28 June 1849 for William Exton age 77
Place of burial: Stamford Baron, Dedication: St Martin
This was an NBI Source with the county shown as Northamptonshire.
St Martins in Stamford was also know as Baron and is I believe that small section of the town that used to just jut into Nothants.

Of course :-[
I knew that south of the Welland wasn't in Lincs but without thinking said it was Rutland. Doh!
The date (but not the year) of the burial you found looks right for Eilleen's man. I've seen dates out by a year before in the NBI. I expect that's the case in this instance.

Strangely enough the BMD shows the death as being June Q 1849

Oh, I just assumed that Eilleen was right. I should know better after all this time! ;D

::) You can say that I couldn't possibly think it :-X

Nobody can ever assume I am right, :)
especially me ::)
