1861 census in Sunderland

Mary Ann Sullivan age 18 unmarried - about 3 from bottom of page. Betty and Bridget are laundresses I think. (Misread visitor for neice for some reason)

Class: RG 9; Piece: 3780; Folio: 7; Page: 8; GSU roll: 543186.

This is all I have for her - as she just appears in the census and I haven't been able to find her elsewhere. No idea how she connects to Betty Paden.

I think it's stay maker. If you look at the Hs on the word Head all over the page, it's quite different to the start of the first word.
