Her relationship to head of household is given as NURSE CHILD. Barry Lawman and the County Archivist at Carlisle beleive this was a child 'loaned-out' to either a recently bereaved mother to help use up her breast milk or to a new mother who had milk to spare where the natural mother could not feed her child.
