1891 census shows 19 Locomotive St. Boston
Richard     Luffman 62 Carpenter's labourer b Alford
Elizabeth  Luffman 66 Wife                           b Ormby
Ada Stephenson    12 Nursechild                  b Boston
Louisa Turner           1 Nursechild                 b Potterhanworth
What was a nursechild, and are they likely to be related to Richard and Elizabeth?

I think a nurse child would be called a foster child nowadays, not too sure on that though.
