Burton Lodge and Death/Daeth family of Burton Latimer 19th Century

[Gypsy Scholar]

Wondering if anyone has any information on Burton Lodge, which accommodated a number of families, mostly employees at Burton Latimer farms and mines in the 19th century (agricultural labourers and and later ironstone miners). Burton Lodge does not feature on the Burton Latimer website, but is recorded on sequential Census records through the 19th Century. Families listed include John Death and William Death and families. Does it have another name in the historical record such as Cottages etc?

“Downing's Lodge
West of the main road to Finedon, near the top of Higham Hill. Also known as Burton Lodge or Red Lodge.”

1881 1574 /51/66
Downings Lodge
Mary Ann Downing and others

All othe4 houses on the page are ‘Occupant name’ Lodge.

It is confusing though as this piece says the houses was built in 1876 for Alfred Downing.

Thankyou Heywood

I think this would make sense certainly for the 1881 and onwards Census.

Perhaps they were rebuilt at that time and renamed. It would coincide with all of the ironstone mining activity surge. The occupants also shift from 'agricultural labourer' to 'ironstone labourer (miner)' at that time.

Hi.

There is Burton Latimer group on faceb*** who have some other information about the Lodge.

I am sure they would help you further.  My own family were farmers in the village from as early as the 1700's.

There is a possibility that the family were living in Meeting Lane in the censuses as if you look  at where the enumerator walked on the 1st page of every census.
