Wraith Frank Sheffield 9c 597

Thankyou.
Yes that`s the census.
Edric is my great-grandad and we didn`t even know they cae from Sheffield as we all live in Wigan..
I was wondering if perhaps Edric had lost his parents and they were living with relatives. Just wondered if the term `boarder` had a different meaning back then.

P.S. Why was a post removed?

Thanks everyone.

Looks like it could be a brother to Henry as Kathleen suggested...

A boarder is someone who pays for their meals and lodgings in someone else's house. If all the occupants of the house had the surname Wraith then the boarders could have been more distant relatives rather than immediate family - more than likely brothers of the head of house.

Assume this is them? EDric is an unusual name, you might be able to research him to find out the relationship.

Are they a more distant relative, nephew or something? I have seen this too.

Hi,
i a searching for Wraith and have found my relative in Sheffield. On the `relationship to head of house it states `boarder` though they are all `Wraith` in the house.
What would this mean?
