The "Do" is an abbreviation for "ditto." It is also interesting to note their ages. In 1841, Edward was 37 and Margaret was 39. The census lists them both as 35. But according to Ancestry.com, the ages of "people over 15 years old were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 years."
As mentioned in a previous post, Edward was a wool comber, which is corroborated here. Also notable is that both Edward and Margaret were not born in Yorkshire.
Finally we see that their daughter, Eliza, is not with her family. However, we do find her a few pages later listed with the James and Sarrah Taylor family. Their connection to the BLACKOWs is not known at this time. According to Ancestry.com:
The 1841 Census for England was taken on the night of 6 June 1841. All responses were to reflect the individual's status as of 6 June 1841 for all individuals who had spent the night in the house. People who were traveling or living abroad were enumerated at the location where they spent the night on census night.
