Well they didn't get to eat much because if they did they would get fatter and would not be able to fit up the chimneys.
A chimney sweep in the Victorian Era got paid about 10 Shillings in Europe. Less than a dollar in the United States. The chimney sweep himself did very little work. Boys that were small enough, sometimes as young as four, would be trained to do the chimney sweep's job because of the tight spaces. The boys were paid very little and very often got sick with cancer from the fumes.
Anthony Ashley Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury (1801-1885) was instrumental in restricting child labor through the Ten Hours Act (1833). He also sought to reform "lunatic asylums," established "ragged schools" for destitute children, and in 1875 succeeded in eliminating the use of underage "climbing boys" as chimney sweeps.
Victorian servants would have to clean the whole house, do laundry, chimney sweep, scrub bathrooms and toilets, wash the windows, clean carpets and other cleaning jobs. Servants were also used to prepare meals, tend to the owners horses, act as valets, run messages and take care of the owners property (such as trimming bushes )
well, they worked for money, and some were forced to work. Hi there, a little more detail is: Back in the 19th century Victorian children often worked for several reasons: -they're mothers worked therefore could not be left alone at home, and instead had to go work with them. -they were forced to. -they wanted to to prevent the fact of boredom. -they lived in a poor family that had shortage of money tehrefore resulted down to not having no food. They worked to earn money to prevent the fact of them and their family going through starvation. -Mill owners often liked them to work because: * They were small and could go under machines to fix broken things *They had quick fingers and could fix things more speedily. * They were cheap to have.

Well chimney sweeps did not eat a lot of food because the more they ate the fatter they got, and then they wouldn't be able to get up the chimneys.
