You may have more luck on the Furness board as Barrow-in-Furness was never a part of Cumberland. It was (and still is to some of us!) in Lancashire North of the Sands. HTH :)

Have you tried the 1901 yet?

You mention his bride, do you have his marriage certificate? This should have his age and so tie down the rough year of birth a bit more. From there, you will need to look for his birth certificate. Try freebmd site first.
which is a partial transcript of the General Register Office (GRO) index
or if not, use the pay-per-view site, 1837 online.
If you are near a Local Studies Library then they should have the GRO indexes on fiches. If you find an entry, then you can apply for a copy of the relevant certificate. You can do this online at www.gro.gov.uk (http://www.gro.gov.uk)
