The marriage record on Ancestry (I presume you have this, because you have the exact date) shows his age as 23, of Wembley, and his father as John, a labourer (as he was, himself).

There's a very possible Baptism record on Ancestry, too, in 1827, with father, John, and the DoB shows on the register, too.

If you don't have Ancestry, yourself, then there are a few possibilities to gain access to this:
1] Many libraries have the Library Edition of Ancestry, so you could go to your local branch and reserve the use of a computer there. Definitely worth doing the preliminary looking up at home, so that you can narrow down your hits from the start, because library computers can be a bit slow! Also worth collecting up several look-ups to do on a particular trip.
2] Collect up a bundle of things you want to do and use the free fortnight's trail access - but make sure you cancel the in good time, so that you don't accidentally find yourself subscribed for a year when you don't want to.
3] Visit the London Metropolitan Archives and ask for: Cowley, Register of Baptism, dro/033/a/01, Item 005

If you are getting confused, just try tackling one "fact" at a time, make sure it's right and then go on to the next one.
