Dawn,
Thank you for the link, I had found this but it does not give the age of Robert Ernest at baptism. 

the censuses infer he was born in 1874/1875 but the baptism was 1884, 10 years later

Baptisms do not always state a year of birth (or age) when a child is baptised late.   Facts: there was no Robert Ernest Harris birth around 1884 anywhere - and we know from the census that his parents are William and Lydia and they are the only William/Lydia Harris living in exactly the right place.

Hi,
I was hoping you'd found the official registration of the birth, which I've also failed to do.

Hi,
That has to be him, thank you.  I put Harriss into the BMD search, but not Harrison.  And familysearch.org shows so many people called Harris I would never have got to the alternatives.
