Was she the oldest person

[David Tuson]

I am researching a twiglet and came across something that made me do a double take.
On the 1871 transcription that I looked at on Familysearch a daughter's age was transcribed as 323.
You have to be joking was my first reaction but curiosity directed me to the image on Findmypast.
And that is where I found the error.
The enumerator had written the daughter's age 23 in the male column, realised the error and correctly put the age 23 in the female column. Then he/she proceeded to cross out the incorrect age in the male column but did not cover the units digit '3" - so the age looked like 323.
