Deciphering on 1851 Census

I also thought it was SS, maybe SSO.  It's a good suggestion but as far as I can tell she was a farmer's daughter in 1841 and again on the farm in 1861 then an annuitant in 1871.  To be working in a Swankey Shop would be a bit odd, but hey, who knows!

William was living in Carlisle with a son in 1841 but then appears in Newcastle in 1851 where his other son was.  Margaret is from Cumberland so there must be a connection somehow! 

Bit stuck for ideas now, though I'm really looking for William's death record which is proving elusive!

She was just a "Visitor", she needn't have worked in Newcastle at all.

I agree Geoff-E and she probably didn't.  I'm assuming there was a family/friend connection which I may never work out but thank you everyone for your contributions.  Very much appreciated.  The SSO or whatever it is will probably remain a mystery!
