Title: Boarders
Post by: kargil on Sunday 05 September 10 17:55 BST (UK)
Question: I have found that there were 2 young boy boarders living with my ancestors on the 1911 census for Chippenham- not related - but I DO know that my Mum mentions one of them many years later (she was born 1927) Any idea why boys from London area would be boarding in Chippenham. No war at that time?

Perhaps your ancestors were foster parents
