I would be inclined to think that your Gt granddad's birth in Bradford may be the thing he lied about

That's an odd position to take. His birth was registered in Prestwich Registration District in 1879: he was born in Bradford per the 1881 and 1891 censuses.

Do you know what circumstances would lead to him being born there in 1880?

His parents being there is the usual one  :) 

Especially his mother.
