Can you say how you know JHR Sr was born 1840ish if you don't have him in a census? Do you have his marriage certificate? Any chance of his wife's name? Any other kids?

It all goes into the mix for searching!

I particularly hate the assumption that a father was 20ish years older than a child. The child could have been the last of 12!

Have you looked for one born 1861 on the census returns?

Have you checked deaths to ascertain whether the 'father' actually existed?

I am looking for a John Henry Raspberry born about 1840.
Don't know where.

His son was also John Henry Raspery born 1861 Salford Lancashire He married Rosella Sawyer Farrow in 1885 ,i have the marriage cert

.His son was also John Henry Raspery born 1886 in London he married Alice Norman in 1907 i also have that marriage cert.

As you can see the spelling of the surname changes but i can't find the John Henry from 1840ish in any census.

Maybe a new pair of eyes might help
.Thank you
