Apologies for the delay in getting back to thank you for your help - my computer has been a bit under the weather. |

"A nursechild was a standard term for an infant foster child. It is not necessarily the case that a nursechild was being nursed (breastfed) by a woman in the same household. The nursechild may have been fostered out for a number of reasons, such as the loss of one or both parents, or the parents being unable to look after the child due to reduced circumstances." |

I have been doing some research/transcribing, and on two occasions have come across the description 'nurse child' in the relationship column of the census. Anyone have any idea what that means please? |
