You get the birth certificate online from gro.gov.uk using the details from the index above. It costs £7.

This will give you his parents' names & his father's occupation. It is most likely you'll be able to follow the family back on the censuses from there.

If you don't have a subscription to Ancestry for the censuses, then ask on these boards. People are only too willing to help.
