Alexandra,

there is no 'relationship status' noted, however Richard (age 25) is first on the list, so I assume he was head of the household. As Maria is also aged 25, she could possibly be his wife, though that's only a guess.

I had a look in 1851 for Charlotte but couldn't find her, so assume she had died before then. I'll go and have a quick look now for Richard and get back to you.

Regards
Susan
