Matthew's age was given as 31 in the on-line transcription 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".

possible marriage index match - would need to check actual record, it seems likely to be correct since she was not listed with the family in 1891.
