Records of foster carers in 1800s

[misstinkerbell77]

Hello again!  Does anyone know if there are viewable records for details of foster carers (my ancestor was a 'boarder') c1880?  Or where to view records of boarded out children?  My ancestor was a boarder in Bexley Heath.  Have been hunting around with no luck.  I'm not even sure if what I'm looking for exists?!

Any advice will be gratefully received

Won't exist.

All  arrangements will have been private.

Many such arrangements will have been made through the local poor law union. Have you already searched the records for the Dartford Union?

ADDED - I've now seen your other thread, where you say ...

I have looked through Dartford workhouse records

But there may be other relevant poor law records too, especially Board of Guardians' minute books, children's registers etc. Worth a look, if you have access.
