On later censuses - what birthplace is shown for John Lea/Lee

Marriage entry shows surnames as Lee & Rogers

[willowbeth]

in one he says broseley. and in the remainder its always birmingham.

[CaroleW]

Which census shows Broseley?

Is his birthyear on later censuses consistent with 1812/13 as shown in 1841?

Is his surname Lee or Lea on census entries

Were all census entries in Warwickshire or did they move?

[willowbeth]

he has born broseley on the 1871 census the remainder were all birmingham. he  could not read or write so i think it was as the enumerater put it it varies betweel lea and lee.
