Thank you ArgyllGran.

I could read the first part but not the second part.

Ancestry's transcription says "Bastard at nurse", which I think is correct.

He must have been an unwanted child whom the family were looking after - fostering, in effect.
If he'd been a baby it would have meant that he was being breast-fed by someone in the household, but presumably not at 4 years old!

Hi
Can somebody who has access to the 1851 census look at this entry for me please

The name is Benjn Devonald. Can anyone make out what it says in the "Relation to head of household column?"
Thank you
