Is there difference between a "Boarder" & a "Lodger"?
Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2015 3:14 am
My great grandmother was a 45 year old widow of means when she and my 15 year old grandfather lived in Dublin in 1901.
Her husband had died in 1894 but I do not know when she moved from Ennistymon to Dublin.
I'm wondering if there is a difference between the terms "boarder" & "lodger"?
In this Census entry, the Head of Family was a "Lodging Housekeeper".
Do you think this was a small Boarding House where meals were provided?
According to my research, 52 Upper Leeson Street in Dublin 4 seems to have been a prestigious address ~ it recently sold for 4M.....
There were just three lodgers and a lodging housekeeper living there in 1901 .....
Anyone know what sort of arrangement this could have been?
Thanks in advance!
