The census shows his age as 38, which would indicate a birth date of 1814, which does match the information from Wales.

    (Research):My Aunt Eva Davison (nee Morris) did a small family tree with pencil and paper. Besides Elizabeth's name she very faintly scribbled "Birmingham". Possibly Elizabeth moved with Edward to Birmingham before coming to Canada?
