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".

address : 77 Dock Street East
Matthew Potts, age 61, married, born in Durham Co., - Sunderland
Margaret, wife, age 49, married, born in Durham Co., - Sunderland
Matthew, son, age 27,single, born in Durham Co., - Sunderland
Ann, daughter, age 22, single, born in Durham Co., - Sunderland
Rosmond, daughter, single, age 14, born in Durham Co., - Sunderland
No profession or employment status was recorded for any of them, so perhaps they were not at home, which may make their places of birth in question as that information may have been supplied by a neighbor or have simply been assumed by the enumerator.
Note: Rosamund, age 14, is shown both here and also living with her married sister Elizabeth G Hammond
The English census supposedly enumerated people at the place they had spent the night the day of the census,
so if people were travelling or visiting they were counted where they were.
Somehow Rose appears to have been counted twice !
Margaret's age is in doubt still. The image definitely records her age as 49 here, but the transcription of the 1881 census showed her as 49 then. So she was either 59 in 1891 and the census take recorded it wrong, or else the 1881 transcription was incorrect and she was really 39 then. Normally one would expect that she would have been more likely to have been only a few years younger than her husband. But if she was really 12 years younger that could also be correct, since that would have made her about age 20 when her oldest daughter Elizabeth was born. If she had been older one would have expected that there would have been earlier children as well.
Son Matthew was actually listed as a daughter, but his age was recorded in the male column.
