I have the census info in front of me but can't decipher that ages (photo copy from Genes reunited).

Is there something on the document (i.e. number) that will help you find it?

I'd say this was Johns Birth

Births Mar 1860 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GREY John Swansea 11a 517

OK can't get into Ancestry but that are not Greys

Look for a birth for a Lydia Grey couldn't see one. looked for a birth for a Lydia Guy and

Births Jun 1863 (>99%)

GUY Lydia Gower 11a 600

So them on the 1871 are Guys

On this one if you havn't already you'd be best to get John's B/C, then if their name is mistranscribed on the 1871 John will be a lot easier to look for with his parents names
