Can someone translate rows 5, 6 and 7? I believe these are my great aunt and her children. Malka Weisberg, Ita and Rosa. It looks like there is more information in the image than is appearing in the record in Jewishgen. Thanks!

1.Вайзберг Аврум Янкель Мошков, хозяин, 60 лет, извозчик балагуров (большая повозка).
3.Вайзберг Шмуль Аврум. Янкель, сын №1, 38 лет, извозчик при отце, Солцкий нижний чин запаса (предполагаю, что служил в Солецкий резервный батальон или Солецкий пехотный полк)

5.Вайзбергова *) Малка Хаимовна, невестка №1, жена №3, 36 лет, мещанка, родилась в Херсонской губернии Елизаветградского уезда, вера иудейская, родной язык : еврейский, при муже, читать не умеет, побочное занятие: «дырет Пирья» - моё предположение, что это дерёт перья (на изготовление подушек, перин, одеял).
6.Вайзбергова Ита Шмулева, внучка №1, дочь №3,9 лет, при отце, учится в 2 классе училища Министерства Народного Просвещения, вера иудейская, родной язык : еврейский.
7.Вайзбергова Роза Шмулева, внучка №1, дочь №3,9 лет, вера иудейская, родной язык : еврейский.

*) Вайзберг и Вайзбергова : это очень интересная особенность дореволюционного делопроизводства, но фамилия у них одна и та же. На самом деле это не разные фамилии, а грамматическое окончание, которое переписчики конца XIX века обязательно добавляли к женским еврейским фамилиям.
Вот как устроена эта логика:
1. Фамилия-прилагательное (Чья жена? Чья дочь?):
В Российской империи фамилии женщин в переписных листах и метрических книгах часто записывали в притяжательной форме. Фамилия Вайзбергова буквально означала «женщина из рода Вайзберг» или «принадлежащая Вайзбергу».

======================================
1. Vaizberg Avrum Yankel Moshkov, head of household, 60 years old, *balagur* driver (large wagon).
3. Vaizberg Shmul Avrum Yankel, son of #1, 38 years old, driver working with his father, lower-ranking reservist from Soltsy (I assume he served in the Soltsy Reserve Battalion or the Soltsy Infantry Regiment).

5. Vaizbergova *) Malka Khaimovna, daughter-in-law of #1, wife of #3, 36 years old, *meshchanka* (townswoman), born in Kherson Governorate, Elisavetgrad District; Jewish faith; native language: Yiddish; lives with husband; cannot read; secondary occupation: "*dyret pirya*" — I surmise this means "plucking feathers" (for the manufacture of pillows, featherbeds, and quilts).
6. Vaizbergova Ita Shmuleva, granddaughter of #1, daughter of #3, 9 years old, lives with father, attends 2nd grade at a Ministry of Public Education school; Jewish faith; native language: Yiddish.
7. Vaizbergova Roza Shmuleva, granddaughter of #1, daughter of #3, 9 years old; Jewish faith; native language: Yiddish.
*) Vaizberg and Vaizbergova: this is a very interesting feature of pre-revolutionary record-keeping, but the surname is actually the same. In reality, these are not different surnames, but a grammatical ending that late 19th-century census takers invariably added to Jewish women's surnames. Here is the logic behind it: 1. Surname-as-adjective (Whose wife? Whose daughter?): In the Russian Empire, women's surnames in census sheets and vital records were often recorded in the possessive form. The surname Vaisbergova literally meant "woman of the Vaisberg family" or "belonging to Vaisberg."
