I believe that some children were also fostered out of the workhouse, being paid for by the union. |

Very often you can look round the area for a neighbour or a relative who would likely be the childs parent. |

I haven't seen the 1911 census at all but up to the 1901 census children were sometimes with other families and described as a Nurse child (which was what we would today call a foster child). The family would have been paid to look after these children. |
