Family History Beginners Board / Re: Can the term "Boarder" in a census return turn out to be a family member

Thanks for your replies Anna & Suey.

The young boy was my great great grandfather. Yes there is  a strong possibility of a family link but I am having trouble proving it. One of the daugters of the Head of family that census day went on to be his  guardian.  Not sure what that actually means at the moment !

Family History Beginners Board / Can the term "Boarder" in a census return turn out to be a family member

Hi,
I have an entry in an 1861 census for a boy aged 7 whose relationship with the head is detailed as a boarder. He is obviously being provided with food and lodgings but has anyone found one to be a family member?

Thanks
