Registers of poor Children - St Boltoph, Middlesex

[Littlebn20]

Hi there. I am having trouble interpreting these records for a Robert Weaver. On the face of it, things seem simple; i.e that he was admitted at the age of 16. However, the register itself specifies that it is for children under the age of 14. Also appears that his mother is an un-names spinster from Jersey?

Trying to ascertain if this could be my ancestor.

It’s difficult to read the heading of the relevant column, but looking at other entries (one appears to say’picks okum’) I think ‘spins jersey’ is an occupation not a reference to the mother’s marital status or where she’s from.

That is helpful. Thank you.

It's definitely an occupation. Another entry in the same column says 'winds silk'.
