*Matthew's age is written as 31 and appears that way in transcriptions, but that is obviously an error, the correct age was probably 51.
William Mewburn is given as "brother" but he would have been Margaret's brother, so he would have been "brother-in-law"
Grace Mewburn, is given as "sister-in-law". They were Margaret's older brother and sister
"U" stands for "unmarried".
(The ages of adults seem to vary wildly from census to census - either the information was being supplied by children or others who had no idea, or maybe the enumerators were just guessing or were very disorganized - for example William Newburn only appear to have aged 6 years in the 10 years between 1871 and 1881, but his sister Grace aged 22 years in the same period, but the ages of the children seem very consistent)
