The link to your previous post should be included for background info

No info as to where he was born in your post - it was Wolstanton on the 1861 entry

Have you checked the 1841 census?
Have you checked Family Search for a baptism?

I suspect he was illegit but knew who his father was

Was his death registered as Lees or Sutton?
