It would help if you could give more details initially. Is this your family - the only one I see in 1861 with a William born c 1815 and a John born c1860 (but then you say you "think" William's son was John) What are your known facts? 1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census Broad Road, Newton, Sudbury, Suffolk, England First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place William Carrington Head Married Male 45 1816 Agricultural Labourer Newton, Suffolk, England Eliza Carrington Wife Married Female 43 1818 Agricultural Labourers Wife Boxford, Suffolk, England Henry Carrington Son Unmarried Male 15 1846 Agricultural Labourer Newton, Suffolk, England Eliza Carrington Daughter - Female 13 1848 Scholar Newton, Suffolk, England William Carrington Son - Male 12 1849 Scholar Newton, Suffolk, England Sarah Carrington Daughter - Female 9 1852 Scholar Newton, Suffolk, England Abraham Carrington Son - Male 7 1854 Scholar Newton, Suffolk, England Ann Carrington Daughter - Female 3 1858 Scholar Newton, Suffolk, England Robert Carrington Son - Male 2 1859 - Newton, Suffolk, England John Carrington Son - Male 1 1860 - Newton, Suffolk, England
