All I can say is that we are agreed that you have the correct birth cert for him with father George and mother Mary ann,going on all the census and war records...
It all adds up to it.

Christine, in case you wanted to put a physical picture to Langbourne Buildings, although as a child visiting their in the 60's they seemed magical. The stairway was in the center and it was cut into the stone and was circular, made an echo as you went up them. The doors were huge, and had big knockers, even at 12, when I was about 5'3' tall, I could not reach the knocker even on tiptoe. They resonated when they were knocked on. It was awesome to us kids. The street had bollards at one end and still had the old gas lights, although they were unused. There were three or four buildings on the street, the middle block overlooked the entrance and yard of St Mark's church and school. Mark Street was between Leonard St and Luke Street, London EC2 if you can google map it.

My vote is for the March 1880 b.cert.
My vote is against Christine's math - someone aged 34y 193d on 29/9/1914 would be born 1880 (actually 20/3/1880 - are you sure the b.cert reads 24th).
His age on census should always end in 1 (census date varies 30/3- 7/4 thru 1851-1911 - always a Sunday at midnight).
