I didn't look at the full image but the nearest on SP is

1851   MARGARET   FREELAND   F   10   ABBEY   /RENFREW   
559/00 016/00 040

The 1851 index I have doesn't list any Mary freelands in renfrewshire between the ages of 8 and 12 although it does appear to confirm the SP information
Living in the Abbey area we have
John Freeland age 40
Isabella Freeland aged 43
Isabella aged 19
Agnes aged 12
Margaret aged 10
and janet aged 6
ward 470 enum 5 page 40 lines 6 - 11

Thank you both
at last i have a closure on Mary's family and i was told all my mums side was Scottish seems not as Mary's parents were Irish so i have Irish I'm my blood from both sides.
this is confussing as as the mother as in the space of 10 years the mother has aged by 13 years Margaret by 7 years and Janet by 6 years would it be possible to check on the 1861 census purely to check the ages?  you have both been a great help and i thank you

Adult ages (15+) on the 1841 census were usually rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 years, so the mother's age appears consistent. As for the others, ages do seem to vary sometimes on census records.

You can download images of the original census records from http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk (a pay to view site)

The only Mary Freeland I could find in the 1851 index for Renfrewshire is living in Inverkip and gives her age as 20
