Thank you as always for your responses.
Moving on, I think John Dare married Rebecca Robinson in 1815, St Brides Fleet Street, London. They I think had a son John Robinson Dare circa 1817, Long Sutton Hampshire. Can anyone find records which place John and Rebecca Dare in Hampshire at his time. By 1819 they seem to be back in London when he was with the Armourers and Braziers.
The 1841 census living in William Street,Clerkenwell as a Brazier, the 1851 census as a victualler at The Bare Faced Stag, Putney Vale, the 1861 census just prior to his death aged 68 and listed as a “propietor of land and houses”. Where would I look for records of land and house ownership, or is this just an exaggeration of his status?
