This snipet is from the 1869 Hung. census. The three lines shown are the ones I've not been able to read/translate. I have a second image that shows the column headings that correspond to the written entries. I would appreciate any insight as to who these 3 women are; all I know is that 2 appear to be servants. All three names appear after the list of the children in the family. Thank you, Shana Millstein (Shanamillstein@gmail.com)

6/21/2021 9:20 AM 11. Johanna Lanczman, female, born 1859, Jewish, single, birthplace Sáros county, Kelenes, residency foreign, present less than a month or intermittently, can read and write, resident of Sáros county, Kelenes, visitor
12. servant Anna Szomatár(?), female, born 1835, Jewish, single, occupation service, employment cook with yearly wage, birthplace B. Keresztur, residency local, present over one month continuously, cannot read or write
13. Anna Zomborin(?), female, born 1845, Roman Catholic, single, occupation service, employment servant with yearly wage, birthplace Szepes (county), ?eczenz??, residency local, present over one month continuously, cannot read or write

The place in Sáros county is probably either Kellemes or Sebes-Kellemes, which were next to each other between Eperjes (Prešov) and Alsó-Sebes, and have now been absorbed into Eperjes.

B.Keresztur is Bodrogkeresztúr, which was in Zemplén county and is now in the combined-remnant county of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén. (This is often abbreviated BAZ, but must be very carefully pronounced with a voiced 'z', lest one utter the Hungarian F-word instead.)

I cannot figure out the place in Szepes.
