1869 census translation
Hello, I'm back with another census page. This is what happens when you manage to uncover a whole new branch of your family tree, you end up with a bunch of Hungarian records that you don't understand :D
Can someone translate for people No. 5,6,7,8? The Jakubik Family.
Also... What is happening in this... House? Why so many families (4 full pages)? Is this some kind of "apartment building" type of deal? Does the front page tell us anything?
Thank you in advance!

I think it was a large farm -- what would be an "agribusiness concern" nowadays.
This is based mostly on the occupations, especially in the first household: a farm officer (bailiff) from Pilsen, Bohemia; his local wife; his son, a county bureaucrat; his daughter, living divorced from her husband; an infant, probably the daughter's; and a servant-girl. On the following page, nearly everyone has "servant" in the first occupation/employment column, and _béres_ "farmhand" (more literally "with wage") in the second column; the only exception is the first guy, who was a _kocsis_ "with coach: coachman, carter". The following page is also mostly farmhands, except number 24, "at his/her parents", and number 30, "day-laborer, hand-worker" ("embroiderer" is the same word, but I don't think it applies here). The last page is also variations on same: 32 is "farmhand-woman", and 35 is again "at his/her parents".
The last page (image 82) has the livestock: 3 mares, 8 geldings, and one foal; one cow and four calves; and fourteen pigs.
The first page (image 77) has the buildings: it's a single story, and supposedly serves only as a dwelling (although interpretations of that question were often ...baffling), but with 8 rooms, 14 storerooms, 4 kitchens, and 3 stables/barns, it was clearly not a single-family home.
