I have asked before, but since the father may have been military, did you ever look at the military birth index?

have had a quick look on find my past without opening the document.
there was a john greer birth Woolwich 1813
now this is a coincidence because this where his brother james was born and where they both appear in later census returns.
yet john gives his birth has Dublin on the 1851 census
any ideas on this ? !
thanks
