Still can't find him.  Thought of lots more spelling variants though.  Ney, Nigh, Neigh etc.
Who were the witnesses at his wedding?   They are often siblings so that might help.  What age and occupation is he at marriage?
The William Nye you mention in Cuckfield in 1851 actually lives in Handcross and was born Rusper.  Cuckfield was the main registration district for a large area in those days so it is always worth checking which village they live in as the church records there may hold clues.
Illegitimate births are hard as the birth is registered under the mother's name.  If she later marries then the child might be brought up with his stepfather's name - whether he was the real father or not.    It can be very confusing.   There is no evidence here that John was not always known as Nye but not being able to find him in 1861 is a pest!
