Charles Terry

Can someone confirm or not my thoughts
Charles Terry married Julia Gregory in Nottingham in 1868.  Father Thomas Gregory.  I have census for 1891
Charles is 19 on marriage
Witness on certificate is Agnes.  Could be sister
My dilemma is
I have a census for 1861 with a Charles aged 12 and a sibling Agnes  showing them as son in law and daughter in law (wrong I think )
Do we think this the right one
Or any suggestions

The term son & daughter in law was often used to describe stepchildren

I did think that

Is the surname Terry or Terrey on the marriage cert?

Charles Terrey born 1848 Notts mmn Lowde

1851 for Charles Terrey aged 2 - mother Agnes is a widow - plus 7mth old sister Agnes

[Mabel Bagshawe]

There's other Terrys on 1861 also described as inlaw - although no obvious parents/step-parents in sight! Here's 1851. Siblings match 1861

Colwick St, Nottingham

Agnes Terrey    35    b Yorkshire. Widow, dress maker
Mary Terrey   10    
Eliza Terrey   7    
Frances Terrey   4    
Charles Terrey    2    
Agnes Terrey   7 Mo    

This fits as there are also Smallwood children in the 1861 household

Agnes Terry, age 37, widow
Father Thomas Lowde, FWK

Thomas Smallwood, 37, widower, shoemaker
Father  Wiliam, Smallwood, trimmer
Marriage    12 Jul 1852,  St. John the Baptist, Beeston

1841 - husband is William - not Thomas but there is a Mary Lowd in household

Agnes Loud
William Terry

Marriage    23 Jan 1837, Derby, St Werburgh,

[Mabel Bagshawe]

1841 - husband is William - not Thomas but there is a Mary Lowd in household

Thomas is I think the name of Charles Terry's father in law - Thomas Gregory is mentioned in the opening post. I read that as his father's name too at the start
