Looking for a John Davies/Davis born 1860/61 in Shropshire,probably Ellesmere,on the 1881 census,or any earlier,he's probably in the Aston area of Warwickshire,with wife Jane (nee Sharp,born Galston,Scotland).This would help me with finding him on earlier censuses as at the moment I only have them back to 1891,as there are several John Davies's all born in the same area in the same year.I can't seem to find him on the 1881? Any help much appreciated.

If he knew his father’s name, it will be on the marriage cert, which will help to identify him on earlier censuses
