History of 6 Eden Street

1851

Nathan Benson, married, 60, miller, b Linton

Ann, 22, dressmaker, b Waterbeach

Mary, 20, straw bonnet maker, b Waterbeach

Other information about this family on Ancestry suggests that there was a mother Ann Wedd who died in July 1853 in Cambridge and other daughters. This is confirmed in the 1841 census where Nathan Benson, 75, miller also has in his household in Waterbeach, Nathan, 48, Ann, 44 [probably daughter in law], Eliza [probably daughter], Ann, 12, Mary, 11, Hannah, 10, Sarah, 6, Esther, 3 and Martha,1 [in all six granddaughters]. In 1851 Hannah is a servant in Cambridge, Sarah a servant in Soham, Esther in Cambridge, Martha in Cambridge as well.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
