Hi Kate

I only have access to the Index for Scotland and cannot view the original image but there are the following all together in Morebattle in 1861.  The ages are slightly off but still a maybe I think :-

ED 1/ Line 18/ Page 2 / Registration Number 801

SMAIL
Jean Head Unmarr 17 Ag Lab born Morebattle Roxburghshire
John Brother Unmarr 13 Scholar born Morebattle Roxburghshire
Betsy Sister Unmarr 11 Scholar born Morebattle Roxburghshire
Mary Sister Unmarr 8 Scholar born Morebattle Roxburghshire

No sign of Margaret yet
