Hi
Can somebody who has access to the 1851 census look at this entry for me please
HO107 Piece 2481 Folio 45 Page 4

The name is Benjn Devonald. Can anyone make out what it says in the "Relation to head of household column?"
Thank you
Von

Ancestry's transcription says "Bastard at nurse", which I think is correct.

He must have been an unwanted child whom the family were looking after - fostering, in effect.
If he'd been a baby it would have meant that he was being breast-fed by someone in the household, but presumably not at 4 years old!

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Thank you
I have FMP and the baptism records don't seem to be on there although I did find the census on there.
Your help is much appreciated
