I have his marriage and death certificates, Gemma, and have found him on all the census from 1841 to 1871, and all are consistent with a late 1818 birth. His birth place on the census' is always given as Bradford. His parents and sisters give their birthplaces as Bradford too, where I have traced them.

Margaret, I've had a good look on the IGI and failed to find the births of him and all but one of his sisters. There is a Sarah BREAR on the IGI, christened 24 Mar 1811, Bradford, Yorks with a father Thomas BREAR (batch no K157781), which would fit in. As far as David, Mary, Thomas and William go I'm afraid I'll have to draw a blank. Searching for children of Thomas BREAR and Martha come up with a couple more children, Susannah b 29 Apr 1822, c 9 Jun 1822 (batch no C079701, this is Kirkgate Wesleyan, in Bradford however the IGI only has 1818-1837, perhaps there are further records at WYA?). Perhaps Susannah was known as Ann? And Hannah, c 16 May 1813 (batch no C107651, this is Bradford which is well covered during this time period). Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
