I am still searching for Charles Lambert, father Joseph born c1849 in Guildford. Although he gives his age as 28 on his marriage certificate in Dec.1875 by the time of the 1881 census he was only 31! Can anyone help me on this please

Are you certain that the 28 isn't a 25? .
Start with 1891/1901 lookup to see if his age is consistent with one or the other. Always cut&paste 1881 household for a census request.

Hi Pauline
Thanks for the advice.
I have checked the marriage certificate, 28 cannot be misread as he was married on Dec 25th and the 5 and the 8 are not at all similar unfortunately.
I have the ages from the census
1901 age 53
1891 age 42
1881 age 31
Dec 1875 age 28
1881 census entry reads
Household:
Name Relation Marital Status Gender Age Birthplace Occupation Disability
Charles LAMBERT Head M Male 31 Guildford, Surrey, England Indoors Porter Dom
Sarah J. LAMBERT Wife M Female 26 Lewes, Sussex, England
Emily LAMBERT Daur Female 4 Lewes, Sussex, England Scholar
Nellie LAMBERT Daur Female 3 Lewes, Sussex, England
Charles LAMBERT Son Male 2 Lewes, Sussex, England
Hope this further info might help me get somewhere.
Didn't realise this would help as I'm only a beginner!

Hi there,
Do you now have Charles and Joseph in 1851?
I am just checking old requests and find yours was never solved.
There is a Charles age 5 with parents Joseph and Mary Ann living in Guildford in 1851.Lots of brothers and sisters too ;)
More info if you want it.
All the best
