To handle sub-floats, you can use the subfig package. Take a look at the following simple exampĺe:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{subfig}

\begin{document}

%two floating tables side by side each with its own caption and label
\begin{table}
\centering
\subfloat[First table.]{%
\begin{tabular}{ccc}\hline
\multicolumn{3}{c}{\label{tab:subtable1}First table} \\ \hline
a & b & c \\
d & e & f \\ \hline
\end{tabular}}\qquad
\subfloat[Second table.]{%
\begin{tabular}{ccc}\hline
\multicolumn{3}{c}{\label{tab:subtable2}Second table} \\ \hline
a & b & c \\
d & e & f \\ \hline
\end{tabular}}
\caption{Two sub-floats.}
\label{tab:2tables}
\end{table}
Table~\ref{tab:2tables} contains two top ‘sub-floats’. The first one is table~\ref{tab:subtable1} and the second one is table~\ref{tab:subtable2}

\end{document}
