Just to throw a spanner in the works, there do seem to be others in the 1841 census with the surname Rasin - and it's written quite clearly so there can be no doubt.  For example, this family in Brightlingsea: HO107/338 Book 7/Folio 56/Page 22  :-\

The Upminster PRs have been digitised and are available online on the Essex Ancestors Website

You have to register and buy a subscription though.

The passenger list for the Scotia that arrived 9 Jul 1849 has his native place as Upminster Essex, and his religion as CofE, so there is every chance his baptism would be in the Upminster PRs.

Apologies - you are correct of course Prue. Thanks for pointing that out.  :) I am still unable to find that particular "Rasin" family in 1851 (but did not check spelling variations).  :-\

Have also since located some Rasins (+var) on familysearch.  :-[
