The census record is in the year 1870  Opslag 34
( Tingsted - Sohn ) ,   ( Norre Falster - Herrad, )   ( Maribo- Amt )
lines 51 thru 57, Line 52 I think is the father's name.  Not sure of his first name. Is is Christen?   On Line 51 Johan Henrick Hansen age 73. Is she a family member ?
What does the column after the age of each person tell about them.  Hans Henrick Christensen is a 6 year old and he is the one I had the birth record translated for me.  The parents names match up with his birth record.

I would appreciate any help

Hi Kathy.
Line 51 Johan Henrick Hansen does not belong to the family.
I will try to explain:
Kraghave 1 huus (house), 1 family, persons no 51
Kraghave 1 huus (house), 1 family, persons no 52-57.

Coloum after the age
ugift (u) = unmarried
gift (g) = married
Fraskilt ( f) = divorced
Enkemand eller enke (e) = widover or widov

I read the fathers name Kristen. In censuses you will often see names spelled in another way than in churchbooks. If there is a difference, use spelling from churchbooks.

Kind regards
Anni
