Lodger receives poverty benefits
Actually, "indsidderske" means: female tenant of a farmer or a house owner, when she is NOT employed by her landlord. In those days, it was not all that usual to "just" be a tenant - you usually worked for the person, whose house you lived in.

In English you don\'t usually distinguish between a female or male tenant, or lodger. However, if you need to do so in your translation, \"indsidderske\" is indeed a female tenant (lodger) and indsidder is thus a male tenant (lodger).
Good luck!

resident was on the dole
Declined
those days it was common that the heirs (children) took over the farm (property) and in return housed and fed their parents for life.(the parents became insidders) In this case it seems the parent(s) also got an allowance from the public. Old age alone was not enough to get a "pension" you had to have other needs to qualify as being poor (needy)
Peer comment(s):

: Parents would not usually be "tenants" of their children-they would simply live with them:~"become a pensioner", and would not qualify as being needy since their child(ren) took care of them.
