About 1841 England Census
The ages of people over 15 years old were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 years. Therefore, someone who was actually 24 years would have their age listed as 20, and someone who was actually 27 years old would have their age listed as 25.

Can't find James on the 1881 census. This appears to be be his son born around 1843.

John STILLMAN Head M Male 38 Westbury, Wiltshire, England Ag Lab
Susan STILLMAN Wife M Female 38 Westbury, Wiltshire, England
James STILLMAN Son Male 10 Westbury, Wiltshire, England Scholar
Samuel STILLMAN Son Male 8 Westbury, Wiltshire, England Scholar
Alice STILLMAN Daur Female 5 Westbury, Wiltshire, England Scholar
Beatrice STILLMAN Daur Female 2 Westbury, Wiltshire, England

Dwelling Petticoat Lane

So James must have been getting on a bit when he had John. Do you have James on any census?
