Hi Christopher, There does not appear to be a birth registration for him in either the 2nd or 3rd qtr of 1878. Is there any more information on his application to The Canadian Expeditionary Force? Is his mother's name clearly written as Edith? It might be worth trying to find them on the 1911 census too if you haven't already looked as this would then give you their place of birth.
