Because they depend on the knowledge of the informant, death certificates are notoriously unreliable for anything other than the date and place of death.
In the 1920 census, C.P. gives his age as 33, and in the 1930 census, he gives it as 40, so I would go with the earlier date, especially as even the earlier birth year still makes him younger than Julia.
Have you ever found C.P. in the 1900 or 1910 censuses?Do you know if he was in Texas or Ohio in those years?
