    There is an enumerator's error in the 1841 census. In the 1851 census Henry Wimpenny is given as 22. This matches his baptismal record. But in 1841 there is no 12 year old son, instead another 10 year old named Harry follows Ebenezer. One might assume that Ebenezer and Harry were twins, but Ebenezer's baptism is not followed by Harry's or that of anyone else in the Wimpenny family. In later entries Henry and Harry are used interchangeably for the son born in 1828.
