Ages out from 1841 by over 5 years

1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Old Houses, Clayton Le Moors, Blackburn, Lancashire, England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Gender Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
Hannah Holland Head Married Female 46 1805 - Padiham, Lancashire, England

James Holland Son Unmarried Male 6 1845 Collier Padiham, Lancashire, England

A line through age of James - transcript says age 6 but not a Collier at that age, even if they did start 'em young. Is this the 1835 James with the age on original reading 16?

It's the only one I can see with a father called Alexander.

There is only about 10 miles between Oswaldtwistle and Goodshaw.

hi
can anyone help find john holland born approximately 1840 in oswaldtwistle on the 1851 census. His father was alexander holland who may have been born approx 1803. Alexander was an engine driver/engineer.
John holland first married sarah ann redman in burnley in 1865 and then elizabeth trevithrick in 1888 after sarah ann had died in 1887 in burnley.

I am presuming that alexander and his family were in oswaldtwistle in 1851 but could also have been in burnley or padiham ?
thanks :-)
