You can add as many members of the household you wish without ever leaving the census information page (or other page as long as they are listed there).
You can place the citations in text or at the bottom. If at the bottom, you can reference them by using either <ref></ref> or <span></span> in text, The <ref></ref> method is easier if you want to list them at the bottom than the <span></span> method as you don't need to create refernece id's.
If you don't know her mom's id, you can use "Unknown" for the LNAB until you find her right LNAB and then make the LNAB to the correct one.
It takes a bit longer if you are working with the original images as the refernces aren't ready made, but even there you have to list the citations for your own transcriptions. Not all the transcripted information done familysearch, ancestry, or findmypast are 100% matches for what's on the original images. So when you get a chance to look at the original images, you may have to edit the transcriptions if they are wrongly transcribed.
