This will sound pathetic...I have never had a clue about where the folio, page number etc. are on the censuses! It's awful I know...I just find it quite confusing  :-[
Anyway, thanks for looking! :)

Calib Rainbow, grandson, mar, 27
Sarah do, granddau, mar, 25
William, g-gson, 6, scholar
Sarah Ann, g-granddau, 4

Thanks Tanja - all I had was a printed copy in front of me and I couldn't make it out for the life of me! Odd that Caleb and Sarah are down as being their 'grandchildren', especially as Sarah's maiden name was Bird...

My guess is the enumerator found it simpler to put her down as 'gdau' instead of 'gson's wife'  :P

Maybe, or I suppose the Dunkley's could have been Sarah's mother's parents, and they were staying with them at the time of the Census?
