Hi Gracewill,
I think this will be the man you are searching for on 1861 census.

RG9/2190 Folio 99 Page 8 Coundon, Meriden, Warks.
John Whitehead Head 34 Ag Lab Born Birkswell Warks
Mary Whitehead Wife 33 Dairy woman Born Fillongley Warks
Thomas Whitehead Son 4 Born Allersley Warks.

You may well question his place of birth but in 1851 John Whitehead is an unmarried servant living in Birkswell and there it states his place of birth as Balsall.

A marriage is registered for John Whitehead Oct/Dec 1854 in Meriden district and the bride appears to be Mary Clark.

Cheers Jeremy.
