My eyes aren't that good!

Please could somebody help me with census details as some of them are far too feint for my eyes. I am waiting for my GGG Grandfathers birth and marriage certificate.
Joseph Willis SMITH b AMJ 1841 married Maria KNIGHT in AMJ 1863 in Newington.

I am trying to track him and also if I could see his parents details too?
Many thanks it's much appreciated!
