The image shows the Norman S. Bentley household in Brooklyn, ED 225, which includes daughter Mary, 19, at home and unmarried. This fits a person born about 1861 living in Brooklyn in 1880 as the head's daughter. The only uncertainty is the middle initial, which is hard to read, and the page numbering, which differs between the citation and the image but is probably just a different numbering scheme.
Matches: Image is the 1880 census for Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, ED 225 (written 2/2/5), enumerated 8 June 1880; Household 191/220 on the page lists Bentley, Norman S (46, head), Emelie M (44, wife), and Mary W/H (19, daughter); Mary is listed as 'Daughter', matching Relation to Head: Daughter; Age 19 gives a birth year of about 1861, matching 1861; Occupation reads 'At Home', consistent with 'Homeworker'; Civil condition is marked in the single column, consistent with Single; Mary was born in NY, her father in NY and her mother in Pa, consistent with the rest of the Bentley household
Limits: Mary's middle initial is hard to read on the image; it could be H or W; The citation gives page 112b, but the handwritten page number on the image is 216. This is probably the Ancestry stamped page versus the enumerator's page and is not a conflict; Roll number 855 cannot be checked from the image; A census age gives a birth year, not a birth date; Whether the Mary of 1861–1938 is the same person depends on other evidence; the census confirms only the 1880 residence
