Thanks Nivard and Krithia for the 1841 Census and Robert for the freebdm death possibility. I do have the certificate for this 1839 death thanks Robert, and was disappointed to find that nothing gelled in it for my John as the d/c age was given as 87 so born 1752, way before my John b1783. The informant wasn't someone I recognised from my John's family. The d/c John wasn't his father or grandfather either. I recognise nearly all of the John Docking deaths that you sent from the NBI too thanks Robert but not the 1839 one or the Herbert John Docking one. I appreciate the imput from all helpful Suffolk listers. A challenging one this is!
