that the nurse children in the home were significant.
J B Mitchell & his wife, Annie (1861 census) -Old Ford Bow, Middlesex - have two children in their home.
Annie's a "Nurse" - first & only time she was a nurse in the census.
Two children in the home are "nurse children".
I'm told the children were probably foundlings.
Any suggestions for finding information about the arrangement? Anna & John are the people I'm interested in, so records that describe why/how the children came to them are sought.
