Have you got them on other census's as I cannot see them on 61, 71 or 81, I've not looked further

What about children??

From durham.gov.uk

Surname Forename(s) Year District
SPOONER Thomas 1856 Durham Central
LIDDLE Eleanor 1856 Durham Central

Could be mistranscribed, one could have died, remarried ..
