By the time of the 1861 census, her oldest 3 daughters had left home, presumably to find work. Meanwhile Mary herself was working as a dairy maid and her 3 younger children were still at school, which was pretty good in those days, especially since the oldest was 14.1861: Dispensary Street, Alnwick

Also her daughter is too young to be that of her husband John Jackson. But there were not very many Jackson's in Alnwick at the time, so it is a good possibility).
