have looked at my records so far and I think I have him on 1901
Beasant Isac 1824 Dorset Hinton Parva Dorset, Wimborne 1901
In 1861 I only have
Beasant Isaac 1832 ....... Marlborough, Marlborough 1861
Beasant Isaac 1809 Lydiard Millicent Cricklade, Wootton-Bassett 1861
In 1841 these show up in the census indexes
Besant Isaac 1824 Dorset Wimborne & Cranborne, Witchampton 1841
Besent Isaac 1826 Dorset Wimborne & Cranborne, Witchampton 1841

I can find no others around that date of birth under 16 variant spellings.

Just to point out that the enquirer started this thread over five years ago. He/she is now no longer a member of the forums and is therefore unlikely to see your post. Sorry.
