If born in England / Wales there are 9 Williams born 1815 +/- 2 years on the 1861 census for instance and 10 Johns in 1861 b 1860 +/- 1 year.

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?

IF that is your family then John's birth registrations shows mmn as Densy and Abrahams as Densey

Henry and Ann's mmn shows as Densey and Sarah is a Densy

but Eliza is a Danzy, Wm a Densie and Robert a Dansey by the looks of it.

(looking at John Carrington on above 'Thread', would say William found above here is correct)
