How about this..........

Looking at the image, it seems all the adults ages have been rounded up or down to the nearest 0 or 5

So this could be Margaret and her age has been rounded up to 20??

Hi Prickly

Yes could be John the mariner from previous census.

Wonder why he's on his own?

I have also now found a possible baptism for Robert:

1/3/1835 Workington son of Martha Ellwood.

Thanks
