Look up please Straughan family again 1851

[Jane Sarah]

I was most grateful for the help I received with the 1841 census. I have located the same family in 1851 but am having real difficulty in reading the form. This time the Head of the household is recorded as Mary STRAFFORD but I can't make out whether she is a widow. If so  I've got the wrong family completely as my Morton Straughan was present at his son's marriage two years later or at least he is not recorded as deceased.
I am wondering whether it says "Mariner's wife"? He was a shipwright.Does this count as a mariner? Also I cannot read the occupations for the other members of the family. If anyone could help with this I would be most grateful.

Kind regards
Jane Sarah

I'm confused?

I thought we were looking for MARY STRAFFORD, the head of house genjen found is Margaret?

Can you give us the reference for Mary in 1851 please?
