In Victorian times, a typical family often had between five to seven children, though this number could vary significantly depending on social class and economic circumstances. Many families, especially in lower economic strata, had more children due to high infant mortality rates and the need for additional labor. Conversely, wealthier families might have fewer children, focusing on their education and social standing. Overall, large families were common as parents often relied on their children for support in old age.
During the Victorian era, various types of children were sold to employers. These included orphans, children from impoverished families, and children from workhouses. They were often sold as cheap labor and were employed in factories, mines, domestic service, and as chimney sweeps. This practice was primarily driven by the extreme poverty and desperation faced by many families during that time.
In Victorian times, children as young as 6 years old could be employed in factories and mines. The legal working age was later raised to 10 years old. However, many children started working at a much younger age due to poverty and lack of regulations.

Sorry but your question is an oxymoron as 'Old Britain' and 'Victorian times' represent two widely separated time periods.

You had to be 14.
During the Victorian era, there were laws regulating child labor that required children to be at least 9 years old to work in factories and mines. However, in practice, children as young as 5 or 6 could be found working in various industries due to widespread poverty and lack of enforcement of these laws.
