Both GR and CLDS have mistranscribed the age of the 1861 John A Powell as 35.

GR 1861 Census, Millend, Awre Parish

John A POWELL Head, Mar, 31, Carter, b. Glostersh, Forest of Dean
Elizabeth, Wife, Mar, 33, Wilts, Melksham
Charlotte E, Daur, 4, Glostersh, Blakeney
Florence E, Daur, 2, Glostersh, Blakeney

Therefore it’s likely that this is his baptism from FODFHT,
