1861 Census Look Up please - James Swindell

[tinacarole]

Hi,
I am looking for James Swindell b1842 Shoreditch, Middlesex/London in 1861 census - he may be living with his family - (I think his father's name was also James and mother Elizabeth - but I am only guessing that the parents names are right).
Can someone help me out with this please?

Hi tinacarole, I've moved your (this) thread to the Research Qs & As forum board as the Research Requests forum board is just for requests where you would like someone to visit an actual location for you.

Can anyone read what is written down the margin of the Ancestry baptismal entry? It looks as though some is lost in th photocopying/scanning.

... corrected this 30th October 1851 by me A.P. Kelly M.A. incumbent in the presence of Joseph Swindell + his mark and Elizabeth Swindell the parents both present


Is he saying the father is Joseph and not James??

It looks to me as if he's saying Joseph is the father though it's strange he didn't correct the entry itself.
That additional line of writing we can't see may have helped:F
