Hi there and welcome
Cumbria BMD have births for a Richard and a Dinah Wood in Dalton sub district, mother's maiden name Barrow.

I can see William too but not Adam or Mary, nor a marriage so far.

I have found a birth of Adam Barrow Tyson in Ulverston reg district in 1875 (free BMD) - But that date doesn't match

[Peter Goodey]

The birth certificate of any one of the children will tell you the mother's maiden name.

However this assumes that Elizabeth was the mother of all those children which doesn't necessarily follow from a single isolated census record. Therefore it would be logical to start with Dinah who is listed in the GRO indexes so you can order a certificate from GRO.

But presumably one of those children is an ancestor so you should certainly be getting that birth certificate which is the one I would start with.

Adam Barrow Woods (note spelling) in 1881 Ulverston looks hopeful

Yes of course Peter, that is the way to go!

Highly recommended, but just speculating ....

There is this Elizabeth in the census with parents Adam and Dinah...

First off, I think the birth place for Robert is not Length,Westmorland but Leigth, Westmorland, possibly meaning Lyth (perhaps Crosthwaite and Lyth.)
