This birth would be at the right time to tie in with the age at death:-

Name: Sydney George Brown
Year of Registration: 1889
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Edmonton
County: Essex, Hertfordshire, Middlesex
Volume: 3a
Page: 442

However I think you should get the marriage certificate first to be sure of his father's name.

You can also order certificates from the GRO by post using a cheque.
