=====================================================
Information on the 1841 census.  
While looking at some film I ran across the directions 
for that census and here is what is written.

"Write the age of ever person under 15 years of age as it is stated to you.
For persons aged 15 years and upwards, write the lowest of the term of 5
years within which the age is.
Thus-for persons aged
15 years and under 20 write 15
20 years and under 25 write 20
25 years and under 30 write 25
30 years and under 35 write 30
35 years and under 40 write 35
40 years and under 45 write 40
45 years and under 50 write 45
50 years and under 55 write 50
55 years and under 60 write 55
60 years and under 65 write 60
65 years and under 70 write 65
70 years and under 75 write 70
and so on up to the greatest ages.
If no more can be ascertained respecting the age of any person than that the
person is a child or is grown up, write "under 20," or "above 20", as the
case may be."
