Trying to find a Robert LONG born c 1780s had a son William LONG born c 1806

I have the details for William's marriage but not his birth I found William LONG living in 1841 census in Churcham he was a cold breaker age 35 years- I would love to to find Robert LONG his dad - who is he and where was William Born?

Yes thankyou for all that but I had it as I said
Just looking for Robert LONG

Sorry but your base note did not say you had all this :-)

I often find that multiple sources can help narrow the search.

In this case the age in the 1841 is subject to a rounding error of 5 years.

Williams Burial suggests 1811/2 for his birth.

Hence by looking for a William later than the 1806 suggested in 1841 may narrow your search for Robert.

You cannot assume that William /Robert are from Aston Ingham unless you have some more evidence that you have not shared here. William was married in Aston Ingham yes, and he may have been living there at the time.
