Easy enough to say!

This is "our" Joseph Billingham, with daughter Mary Ann before she marries William Bucknall
Joseph is down as son in law which is clearly not quite right. Previous household is this one
1891
Caleb Pearson 57
Elizabeth Pearson 53
Caleb Pearson 22
Lilly Pearson 17
Sarah Pearson 15
Esau Pearson 12
and that fits with
Marriages Mar 1888
BUBB Maria Stourbridge 6c 185
BUCKNALL Joseph Stourbridge 6c 185
Pearson Clara Stourbridge 6c 185
POOLE Henry Stourbridge 6c 185

Joseph Billingham 22 bach chainmaker Quarry Bank James Billingham chainmaker
Ellen Jones 21 spinster nail maker Quarry Bank John Jones Brewer
Banns
X Both
wit X Benjamin Cartwright X Sarah Cartwright
so it could be that Elizabeth (Jones) Pearson and Ellen (Jones) Billingham were sisters, making Caleb Pearson and Joseph Billingham brothers in law (hence the odd son in law on 1891, i.e. it refers back to previous household).
