Where does his DOB come from? The only one registered in Luton between 1873 and 1877 is this one, which is probably the one on the 1881 census.

Births Dec 1876 
GURNEY    William       
Luton    3b   428

[bedfordshire boy]

The 1911 census, to which the OP was directed recently, gives his age as 34, so the 1881 census looks the right family.
