I have a census entry in 1861 which reads 'relationship to head of household' - NURSE CHILD. Can anyone clarify the meaning of this please? |

Yes, we have had many threads on this one - it is a foster child. |

Hi, It's a foster child. The parents were paid to look after it in much the same way as today. Gwynne |
