He married Alice Pedly in Stoke on Trent in 1926, so this looks like a likely birth:

Ben, you need to buy his birth cert. This will give his parent's names and then you can look for the family in the 1911 census to find out when and where his parents were born.

Do you have his marriage cert, to give his father's name?
