Would help to know what you already have so we don’t waste time duplicating info

The only Robert Waspe in Suffolk in 1841 was born 1826 and was not with parents

Is your Robert the one living in Shropshire in 1841 but living in Suffolk 1851?

I have a Robert Waspe in 1841 at Blakenham Magna with his family.   HO 107/1018/10  aged 45.  He had a son called Robert … so there's another 2 at least !  But where did he come from?

In the 1861 census of Blakenham Magna, Robert's place of birth is recorded as Blakenham Parva (i.e. Little Blakenham).

The Suffolk FHS (https://suffolkfhs.co.uk/shop/index.php/bosmere-claydon-deanery-1754-1812-bpi-11-p2.html) has indexed the marriage of Barnaby "Warse" and Sarah Garrard at Bramford in 1790 and the baptism of their son Robert at the same church in 1791, as well as his Wasp siblings between 1793 and 1807 at Little Blakenham.

This is great news!  My son is actually called Barnaby Waspe, - this will be his ancestor!
