Title: Woodneuk Lodge/House
Post by: Cheryl. on Thursday 07 June 12 15:29 BST (UK)
Hi,

Have been chatting with a Rootschat member who has found some census records. I'e seen them before but only just picked up on the "Woodneuk Lodge" reference.

What was this and where was it? The census record is for Cadder in Lanark.

It was either 1861,1871 or 1881 - I can't remember and don't have the record to hand - the record I had didn't say it on it.

This is interesting but I can't see why they'd be in a hunting lodge, they were miners!

I'm thinking it was 1871, could have the completely wrong end of the stick here.

This is him. If he's not working there as a puddler what are they doing there?

The occupations of other families at that address are all to do with iron working. There may have been a group of workers cottages adjacent to the lodge

Who did live there?

Is the actual lodge - and grounds if there were any - owned by someone important?

So my relative could be one of the 26 working for him then?

Do you know anything more about the lodge? Does it still exist?
