The phrase means: "Raised in the house of", a child the was not a natural born to the family.

For clarification, some questions for the group along this same line:
Expuesto y criado en la casa means left at your door
step and raised by the household, but what surname was the child given?
Hijo natural meant the child was born out of wedlock, but the mother kept him and raised the child; was he given the mother's surname?
Padres no conocidos means the child was left at the church's doorstep?  Or "found" and brought in for baptism?  There are often padrinos named in these cases.  Was the child given their surname?
Thanks so much.  Alice

> Does not always mean that they were not known at all. Sometimes it a scribe would write that if Bride or groom was from out of town or long deceased. Some scribes did write the information if it was provided but some felt that if they did not have first hand knowledge of who they were then they would write padres deconocidos.
I had originally thought that padres deconocidos was a dead end but I have been able to find out who the parents were on more than a few occasions. Sometimes it took a lot of work and time. But on a couple occasions it was relatively quick.

Thanks, Rick.  How interesting!  I always thought padres no conocidos meant literally that they were not known, or intentionally being ignored because of less than "accepted" circumstances at birth. 
I haven't run into this in my family lines, but do run into it all the time researching.  Although, I did come across my 6grgrandfather, Miguel Anaya Villagran, as "huerfano" on his informacion matrimonial.  So I wonder if those are his actual surnames, nevertheless, it created a brick wall for me.   Thanks so much,  Alice

Rick,

That's very interesting ... I also thought "padres no conocidos" was a dead
end. What about the term "alias" ... I have a case in which the person's
name is written as "Dn Jose Felipe de Jesus Ruiz (alias Carrillo)" ... has
anyone else come across this?

That is what I thought it meant. Thanks for the clarification, Alicia.

It means the child was abandoned and left at their doorstep and raised in the home or hacienda where it was left.
