It's tricky. One of mine on every census where he was an adult said born Sevenoaks, Kent. He was born in Lewes in Sussex and the family moved to Sevenoaks when he was about 2 years old. Sometimes they did not know where they were born!

This looks like the closest but I don't think he's close enough:

John Bane Ann abt 1834 Devonport, Devon, England Son Stoke Damerel Devon

I've tried

John

Bane

Bain

No joy - so far

Not showing with those details.

Have you found him in any other censuses?

Wonder whether he was born somewhere else and brought up in Bishop Sutton and thought he was born there ... ?
