Thomas Griffen Rawlins

Hello
I am trying to find information about my ancester Thomas Griffen Rawlins. So far I have an approximate date of birth of 1796. (Birthday between 6/Jun (date of 1841 census) and 24/Dec (date of death)) based on his age of 45 in the 1841 census. This is pre-GRO so how do I confirm a dob and find his parents to try and get further back? Any help would be much appreciated.

This is what I know about him so far;
Possibly born St Annes Parish, Soho, London -all his children were.
Clothworker's Company have no record of his apprenticeship
1820 mentioned in THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE OLD BAILEY REF: T18200217-155 as clothworker and lived in St. Martin's-lane

In 1831 Thomas Griffin Rawlins is an Insolvent Debtor at Court in Portugal-street, Lincoln's Inn Fields. Described as "Rawlins Thomas Griffin, late of No 3 Dufours-place, and of No 12 Marshall-street, Broard-street, Golden-square, foreman to Mr Jones, clothworker, packer and presser."
OCTOBER 24, 1836 he served on a jury at the CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, London.
1841 census living in Gerrard St (presumably No 13 - the family were still there in 1851), married to Susannah and has 5 surviving children.
Thomas Griffin Rawlins (Snr) died at 13 Gerrard St. on 24/Dec/1841. Cause Consumption, informant Thomas Griffin (jnr). aged 46.

Hello Silverlode

The site that the information has been obtained from is www.familysearch.org

Hi Silverlode

Having another look at the family Search records as used by the above searchers there are a number of families with various spellings of the surname. I wrote Rawlings but it is actually Rawlins and I have found another birth

: 27 Apr 1793
At:SAINT NICHOLAS, BRIGHTON, SUSSEX, ENGLAND with the same parents as above
I guess you wish us to proceed with "Rawlins" as I have not looked at the census yet?
