Ages for people over the age of 15 were in general rounded down to the nearest 5 on the 1841 ......... thus the difference in birth year shown on the 1851 census for James and Emma

I agree with Misty that Thomas age on the 1841 is 12, if that is the correct census that you are working from.

Name Age
James Edgley 30...1811
Emma Edgley 30.....1811
Thomas Edgley 18***** <<<<<<<<< 12 on census image, meaning born ca 1829
Jane Edgley 10
William Edgley 8
Sarah Edgley 6
Margarett Edgley 4
Mary Edgley 8 Mo

Hi Starr,
Are you sure of your dates? If Thomas was born 1823, that would mean William and Emma were 12 when Thomas was born.
