I was looking at a census return and for the dwelling there was a family, 1 boarder and 2 lodgers. I'm curious what is the difference between a boarder and a lodger?

This is a guess: a lodger pays to rent the room and that's all; a boarder lives as part of the family and eats with them. But I could be completely wrong and I'm open to correction!
