Thanks for your input,
You are right about the census ages being out, which I am sure you have come accross yourself in your research.

I came accross one Catherine White, born to a William and Elizabeth in Cranborne,
but the date is 28th Feb 1790.  Their was also a date of 1780 under comment of which I do not understand.

My great grandfathers age changed on every census. and even on his marriage certificate and birth certificate.  Even my grandfathers age was out by 6 years
on his marriage certificate.  Maybe it was that he lowered his age because he was 42 and my grandmother was 21.

Not sure if this chat is still running, but (just to complicate things a bit), there is a William Applin, born c 1815 in Cranborne, Dorset, living in Southampton, Hampshire, in the 1851 census.  He is a baker.  I noticed him because my paternal family are Aplin (bakers and millers from Corfe Castle in Dorset), and he was living next door to my maternal Payne ancestors from Southampton.
