His death took place in either june 1842 or june 1847. This census is the only thing I have to try and 'guess' a bith date. Could I be right in thinking that the joseph brn in austry warks in 1803 is this one?

Theoretically adult ages were rounded down to the nearest 5 in 1841 though in practice this didn't always happen. You could try getting his age from his death cert - but you aren't sure which is his yet. Have you found a likely baptism on www.familysearch.org?
