St Ives in 1881 Census
« on: Monday 02 May 05 17:11 BST (UK) »
Hi, Everyone,
Can someone tell me what county St Ives (presently in Cambs) came under in the 1881 Census.  I want to put it in to a search on the familysearch.org site, but St Ives doesn't seem to be listed under the Cambs towns.  Did it have another registration district, possibly?

I put St Ives, civil parish on ancestry.com & it comes back as Cornwall....not unless there is another Si Ives elsewhere.

Thanks, Willow,
It WAS in Huntingdon, apparently, as I've tried that (I should have thought of doing that in the first place!), and have managed to come up with the family I want in the 1881 Census at a tiny place called Pell's Hole (I presume that's not a mistranscription for something rhyming...), Woodhurst, Nr Huntingdon.  But I notice that most of the children were born in Knapwell, across the county border in Cambs.  So that's where I've got to look for this family in the 1871 Census now...
And I think that I read somewhere that Knapwell is the only "Thankful Village" in Cambs, i.e. sent soldiers to the Great War 1914-1918, and they ALL came back safely.  I'm a storehouse of info sometimes...

It's Huntingdon.
St. Ives - Huntingdon - England
In 1881 that is where my family is found at family search and all the census prior and many after.  And they are born in St. Ives.  Good luck!

you're not doing a lookup for this chap's seven wives are you ???

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives.
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?

cheers JohnP
