Can some one look on the 1881 census and what the relationship says for Mercy please?

1881.
Joseph BAYLISS Head W Male 59 Halesowen, Worcester, England Butcher
Mercy DAVIS Daur M Female 32 Halesowen, Worcester, England Dressmaker
George F. DAVIS Son Male 3 m Blackheath, Stafford, England
George DAVIS Son In Law M Male 29 Birmingham, Warwick, England Pork Butcher

2 Halesowen St.
Rowley Regis, Stafford.

To me Joseph looks 39 not 59.
I couldnt read what the relationship said and if he is 39 then Mercy cant be his daughter?
Oh getting in a pickle!

I am sure it says daughter, and Josephs do's look like it could be 39 or 59.

There is this, which fits with being 59 in 1881.
