Brentford in some form has ben in existence for hundreds of years as far back as 1016 so it would seem reasonable for john to say he was born there. Possibly not Brentford as we now know it.

Ali I was looking through the census to make sure he said he was born in Brentford in all of them, as Brentford wasn't Created untill 1837
