Please has anyone got access to the image for the following census page ?  The image I have found is very blurred and pixelated, I'm wondering if anything else might be better.

1861 census. Cambridgeshire, Whittlesey,
RG 9/1045/5 p3
James OLDEN and the rest of the household. I can't make out the address, relationship, marital status, age.

Thanks

Just to add that the image on FindMyPast is fine.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
