Possibility?
1841 census
Building, Buckingham. Buckinghamshire
William Roberts, 65, lab
Susan, 40
Sarah, 20
Mary, 15
John, 10
Ellen, 5

I think this is another case of the census taker not following the rounding down rule. Chidren under 15 were not to be rounded down. Looks like he rounded down John's age but rounded up Ellen's.

They were all born in county.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
