found this on the workhouse

Witham, Essex
[Up to 1834] [After 1834] [Staff] [Inmates] [Records] [Bibliography] [Links]

Up to 1834
A parish workhouse was set up in Witham in 1714 near to the parish church. It was built by means of of a loan from Miss Alice Bird of Great Coggeshall. In its early years, the building was also used as a House of Correction (an early form of prison) for vagrants, vagabonds and disorderly person. The cost of running the workhouse soon after it opened was about £230 a year. Its aim of reducing the parish's poor rate was spectacularly unsuccessful — by 1785, the annual running cost had risen to £2,899. An inventory of the premises in 1757 listed the rooms as including a cellar, hall, master's room, kitchen, pantry, brewhouse, workhouse, and five bedchambers.

You should be able to find him on the 1881 census.........FREE on Ancestry and on the LDS site.

Alternatively, purchase his marriage cert to find out the name and occupation of his father, which would help to ensure you followed the correct line

What is the basis for your info about the birth date?

I'm not sure how you can have the exact date, if you haven't got the birth cert.............
