Possibly his father was in the army? Try the GRO regimental births index, on paysites such as Findmypast etc.

I'd search the GRO military indexes if I were you. These are available on FMP and probably elsewhere.

I hope Glynis will be ordering the birth certificate. She should now also be safe in ordering his father's army papers.
I'm told that you should order using the Digital Express service and not on paper (which they now won't do at a sensible cost). I can't speak from personal experience because I usually get my copies in person.
Glynis, if there's anything you don't know how to do, please ask.
