1. Just above line marked "31" there is a name Margt.  Rofs?
2. To the right of her name is the relationship?
3. Also, kids (at #30) starting with William Park, place born. Is that Glayers? or Glasgow?

Niece and Glasgow, Lanarkshire I am certain on - it is just her surname that I would query

I'm pretty sure it's Margaret Ross

The third person in household 29 (Agnes) is a dressmaker - you can see how the enumerator does the old-fashioned double "s".

Caithness: MacGregor
Essex: Eldred (Pebmarsh)
Gloucs: Timbrell (Winchcomb)
Hants: Stares (Wickham)
Lincs: Maw, Jackson (Epworth, Belton)
London: Pierce
Suffolk: Markham (Framlingham)
Surrey: Gosling (Richmond)
Wilts: Matthews, Tarrant (Calne, Preshute)
Worcs: Milward (Redditch)
Yorks: Beaumont, Crook, Moore, Styring (Huddersfield); Middleton (Church Fenton); Exley, Gelder (High Hoyland); Barnes, Birchinall (Sheffield); Kenyon, Wood (Cumberworth/Denby Dale)

That is the bottom of the g from Margaret on the line above isnt it.
The s on the end of Agnes is a small s and not a big one.

Confusing isnt it?

Sorry, I should have been clearer; I meant in "dressmaker" (also in "printer dressman" further down the page).

Wow! Not only fast, very good also! I was really lost on the double s and the N that looked like an A. Ross makes sense. Alexander's (one of the children shown) middle name was Ross.
Thank you all :-*
