Margaret Veary possibly married John Lowther - it is not like they are blood relatives, only marriage relatives and it would be in keeping with a gypsy tradition. This is how Margaret Lowther (nee Veary) could be a daughter on the 1871 census

Margaret Varey
England Marriages, 1538–1973

*Charles Lowther is John Lowthers father.
IGI
John Lowther
birth: 20 January 1848
christening: 27 January 1848 Ulverston, Lancashire, England
residence: 1848 Ulverston, Lancashire, England
father: Charles Lowther
mother: Ann Lowther
and his little brother
Robert Lowther
birth: 26 Mar (1859 ?)
christening: 17 April 1859 Ulverston, Lancashire, England
residence: Ulverston, Lancashire, England
father: Charles Lowther
mother: Ann Lowther
So the 1871 census makes sense to me Rosie
Also Mary, Ann, Jane ? in 1851 could all be with Lowther relatives in the census somewhere else
