    Default Where is this...

    As a bit of light entertainment, I will leave you with the birthplace of a relative as written on the 1921 census:

    "Woodenhuton Nr Haundel"

    Any guesses (I know what it is, sorry no prizes....)

    For a guess the Haundel is Oundle, which would mean Woodenhuton is Woodnewton.

    Full marks to Pam Downes - I initially read it as born in a wooden hut before I woke up!
    And Neil Wilson, yes it was on a Nottingham(Basford)census entry, so thoughts along the lines of Annesley Woodhouse north of Hucknall wouldn't have been unreasonable!

    I got confused when I saw W.C. as a birthplace in the census.
    I eventually realised that it meant W. C. as in West Central, London.
