AP VOYAGE?

[Bookbox]

In the 1841 census, adult ages of 15 years and over should have been rounded down to the nearest 5 years. So someone born in 1817 may be shown as aged 25. That would explain the ages that you’ve found.

You will see the surname is spelt JEFFREY (not Jeffery). Maybe try that on ScotlandsPeople?
