Hi and welcome

Could you fill us in a bit more on what you have already?  What censuses have you found the family on?
Are John, Catherine, Alice and Harry siblings? Or parents and children? When and where were each of them born?

OK, so heres the 1881 census you refer to

I thought this looked like John in 1871

Clappers, Heathfield
Mary Burton 41 late dressmaker bn Heathfield
John 17 son groom bn Heathfield

[lizdb]

And 1861

Clappers, Heathfield
Mark Burton 60 farmer 80 acres bn Wartling
Mary 62 bn Heathfield
Mary 31 dtr unm bn Heathfield
Martha 31 dtr unm bn Heathfield
Edward 53 brother ag lab bn Warbleton
John 7 grandson bn Heathfield


Looks like John was illegit son of Mary
