Can anyone help me again please?
I have a 1911 census on Ancestry for a Ethel May Shaw b.1901 Theddlethorpe,Lincs. on it it says shes a Aarce child, obviously mistranslated, or is it? and what does it mean, i know she's not their daughter.
1901 census for Ethel, the head is William Ward (M) and hes 67, and a Martha Shaw (S) and shes 38 housekeeper b.Sutton 1863, then 4 younger children including Ethel but it Says Daughter for the 4 children, so do you think it's saying daughter to William Ward or Martha Shaw. I know in the 1881 census Marthas in the Union Workhouse,Louth age 18, so lifes not very good for her, i wondered if she just shacked up with this William Ward so to speak. I can't find Martha on the 1891 census.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I would imagine she was a "Nurse child".

Thank you very much for that.
Will you also take a look at the 1901 census for me and give me your opinion on that as well please.
Thanks

She was with William WARD (57) in Mablethorpe RG12/2606/91/21

my Personal take on the 1901
William Ward is keeping Martha as his housekeeper, among other things :o and the children are his. He is listed as married but no wife present, which is why I assume he did not marry her. Have you looked for a marriage for William?
I had a quick look at Theddingthorpe baptisms on Lincs and none for Shaw or Ward. I could not find a marriage for Shaw/ Ward on Freebmd

Thanks larkspur, that was my sort of take on it as well, but wanted someone else to also think the same. lol
I couldn't find any marriage for them either.
Thank you Geoff as well.
