Two differing suggestions
EMBO says 1854
Letter to B.M.Tulloch says 19 years back from marriage in 1869 which would put birth between 17/Nov/1849 and 16/Nov/1850

Conflicting dates of birth.
EMBO suggests 1849
Letter to B.M.Tulloch suggests between 22/Oct/1855 to 21/Oct/1856 (Marriage at 17 on 21/Oct/1873)

There are some conflicts between sources on the date of birth. Going with the most precise, which is also from a registrar - so assuming also the most accurate.

EMBO/P113/F9.2.10 suggests DoB about 1859
Letter to TULLOCH says married on 24/Mar/1892 at 29, which puts birth between 25/Mar/1862 and 24/Mar/1863
