Selkirkshire / census transcription error?

1881 Selkirkshire Census, John Crichton b.1805, 40 Overbaugh Street, Woolen weaver, daughter Margaret Greig 52 and her children, Jane P. Greig 23 and Margaret Greig 12.
1871 Selkirkshire Census, John Crichton b. 1807, 40 Overbaugh Street, Woolen weaver, daughter Margaret b. 1812, and her children, James Pringle 17, Jane Pringle 14, Jessie Pringle 12, Catherine Greif 4, Margaret Greif 2.
I haven't been able to find the Greig husband for Margaret, or anything further on Jane P. or Margaret Greig. I think it may be possible that the P. in Jane P. Greig could stand for Pringle. But maybe there are some transcription errors, in spelling and dates. Ancestry doesn't have the actual census, and I don't have access to the original. Please help.
