No one with that spelling turning up in 1881 for me. I assume YOUR DETAILS reflect the 1881 entry accurately? What is the reference?
Start by tracing him back/forward through census, also recording who else is with him.
Then you identify when the first (if any) kids arrived, and start looking for marriages.
Use that info to cross-ref your married man to unwed candidates in earlier census, based on parental info from the certificate of marriage. (dec qtr 1857 vol 2a p 99 )?
