Looks like 20 to me also.

Is this from the 1851 census? Can you compare the age with following census returns?

I see it as 20 as well.  If this is a 1841 UK census, everyone 16 and over is rounded down to the nearest five.  Just mentioning it as I only see 25, 20 and 15's on there.

Thanks for your help folks
Yes it's the 1841 census and I've just found his 1851 census and he's listed as age 31 so ties in
