There are a lot to choose from. here's my pick:

1841 England Census
about Wm Brinkley
Name: Wm Brinkley
Age: 60 As Reg says (below) this is badly written. However he seems to living in a one person household so I don't think it can be 4.
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1781
Gender: Male

However it clearly says not born in Herts so maybe not the one you want.
Civil Parish: Welwyn

You have to be careful with dating a birth from the baptism. Whilst it was normal to baptise in the first year of birth I have found examples of children being baptised up to age 15. If you are lucky the date of birth is shown in the baptism register but if it isn't you cant assume that the baby was new born.

i have also see some being done a lot later then when they was born. with it not stateing the age makes me a bit more carefull it is the only one that i can seem to find that is not submitted i take it was done because he was getting married he had his first child about 1842 but have not been able to find that as of yet.or him on any of the 41 or 51 census. got him on the 61 census
