Hello Jan I haven't found your family in 1851 ........... yet! In 1871 I found them but don't really understand the problem. Is it that you can't 'read' the writin, which is pretty awful or is there some other problem with them. They were living in a joint house with another family but with a different schedule number. Anyway, here goes with a transcription: PRO REF: RG10/5041: Folio 77: Schedule 9: 8 Ferry Street, Jarrow Wm WESTGARTH: Head: Mar: 45: Ship Wright Elizabeth do: Wife: Mar: 42: Geo L? Son: Unm: 22: Rivetter: William do: Son: Unm: 18: Blacksmith: James do: Son: Unm: 16: Mason Mary Elleanor do: Daur: 12: John Thomas do: Son: Unm: 10: All born Wallsend. I'll have another look for the 1851 family entry.
