If that's the right census then they both gave wrong age on marriage cert?

Could be? if the age was out on marriage, it is closer to the age on census, mistranscribed as Devin but is Durn on image?

Hi yes I’d seen that 1841 census before & tried to work back from Ann’s Parents but because of all the mis spelling Durn , Dean - Dern etc etc it was impossible

I think I had Anne Derns parents right at Joseph Dern (etc ) & Elizabeth walkway or again several diff spellings Walklate etc

Remember that ages of those over 15 were rounded down on the 1841 census to 5 or 0, so age shown as 35 could be 35-39. Likewise age 15 could be 15-19.
