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

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.

Highly recommended, but just speculating ....
There is this Elizabeth in the census with parents Adam and Dinah...

(Family Search)
In the 1911 census there is an Elizabeth WOOD born abt 1854 in Coniston. There are also children with the right names and birth places, However her husband's name name is Richard rather than Robert. The number of years married is recorded as 31.
1911: RG14/25633 SN127
There is a marriage in the Ulverston district in 1880 for an Elizabeth HUDDLESTON and also listed is a Richard WOOD.

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