Online, the only birth year for Nehemiah Fuller is 1796.  However, I have his death certificate from 1850 (21 April) clearly showing he was 56. So his birth would have been around early 1794.  I can't find a baptism record for him to confirm this date though.

Online, the only birth year for Nehemiah Fuller is 1796. 

On the 1841 census ages were rounded down to nearest age ending with 0 or 5 for anyone over 15. So although he is recorded as 45, he could be anywhere between 45 and 49 on census day.

Intersting LizzieL.  Re: your reply on Sun 16 Apr (17:07).  Online everyone has 'assumed a Solome married father of Thomas, John on 9 Feb 1767.  You have the name Salome, wife of Thomas.  If it was Thomas he would have been 19 and Solome 35 in 1767.  But John could have married a Solome and Thomas, a Salome. This is very confusing.  I posted last year about John marrying a Sarah Hagars (b. 1708) at Rayne on 22 Feb 1732. But no one could find that in any records? No one called Sarah Hagars online anywhere?

5th March 1783, Salome wife of Thomas Fuller (blacksmith) was buried at Witham. Could be same Thomas who later married Sarah Trew. He has same occupation as Nehemiah.

Four baptisms for children of Thomas and Salome Fuller at Newland Street Independent, Witham
James 1 Feb 1773 (note in register: born at Chippen Hills Witham 10 Jan 1773)
Salome 24 April 1775 ( born 28 Nov 1774)
Thomas 11 Dec 1778  (born 29 Apr 1777)
John 11 Dec 1778  (born 22 Nov 1778)
bit tardy getting Thomas baptised.

Again, thank you for all your help.  I am happy in myself that John Fuller married once, to Sarah Haggers.  Finding John and Sarah's deaths are something no one online has found yet, but I'll have to visit the Records Office in Chelmsford to search for them.  Thomas I have accepted was married twice.  Salome died in 1783 and he re-married in 1784 to Sarah Trew.  I hope I'm correct?  I have found eight children with Sarah; Robert (1787-1869), George (1787? - 1861), Samuel (1792-1869), Nehemiah (1794-1850), Phoebe (1798-1839), Rosella (1807 - ?), Frances (1808-1880) and Henry (1809-1847).  These I will need check because Thomas (b.1748) could have not still been fathering children in his 60s??
