Kates Kabin Peterborough?

[Graham Whitehead]

Has anyone heard of Kates Kabin in Northamptonshire c. 1836?  The 1851 Census for Sarah Kendall in Witham on the Hill, Lincs gives this as her birthplace.
I am looking for her her baptism  in 1836 and also the burial of her mother Monica Kendall who possibly died in child-birth.  Monica was the wife of John Kendall of Witham-on-the Hill but she originated from Long Bennington, Lincs.  She had died by 1841.
A kind Rootschatter has told me there is a transport café/filling station in Oundle Road Peterborough of that name but question is would a Kate's Kabin have been there in 1836?

Hello Graham

Kates Kabin sound too modern and I haven't heard of such a place in Northamptonshire.  Have you looked at the 1861 census to see if the birth place is more clearly written?

As this is for Sarah Kendall she may have married by age 25.  However I will check it out as one does find differences sometimes in 10 year periods.  In 1851 it is quite clear.

Kates Cabin was a crossroads near WaterNewton, on what is now the A1 near Peterborough.

Many thanks Lizb.  The enquiry has now been resolved as I e-mailed Northants Archives who quickly responded with the full story.
"The only Kate’s Cabin we are aware of is situated on the A1 to the west of Peterborough.  It is a farmhouse with associated barn buildings on the junction of the A1 with Alwalton and Chesterton (A605).  This road (A605) is called Oundle Road.  The house was also an inn, as a trades directory of 1854 states that it was occupied by George Watts (an innkeeper and carpenter) and was known as ‘Kate’s Cabin or Dryden’s Head Inn’.

It's been a transport caff ever since I was a small boy, and I'm an OAP now.
