Can anyone advise me how to overcome a problem I have with an survey entry in the 1851 Census.The head of household is at the bottom of one sheet and the two in laws are at the top of the next sheet.The head of household has a different surname from Allen and Ellen Cooper who are described as son in law and daughter in law

The likelihood is that this is the married daughter and her husband.

Can you provide some more detail so we can look up the entry?
