Looking for ancesters of Albert Edward Howard born around 1908 and married Lillian May Ellsmore

Where was he born, please?

There's more than one Albert Edward Howard born around 1908.

This one married in West Brom RD?

Marriages Dec 1930
Ellsmore Lilian M Howard W.Bromwich 6b 1779
Howard Albert E Ellsmore W.Bromwich 6b 1779

The marriage, for our reference, to give us idea of place - though doesn't necessarily help with Albert:

Lilian M Ellsmore
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1916-2005
Name: Lilian M Ellsmore
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1930
Registration district: West Bromwich
Inferred County: Staffordshire
Spouse: Albert E Howard
Volume Number: 6b
Page Number: 1779

Do you have a copy of the cert? If so, what was Albert's father's name?

There are MANY Albert Edwards born around that time but I think this may be him with family in 1939 (They did have 3 children by then):

Howard Household (5 People) 37 Corser Street , Smethwick C.B., Staffordshire, England

First name(s) Last name(s) DOB Occupation
Lillian M Howard 15 May 1910 Unpaid Domestic Duties
Albert E Howard 17 Feb 1905 Brass & Copper Tube Drawer

Likely to be one of these births:

HOWARD, ALBERT EDWARD CROCKELL Order
GRO Reference: 1905 M Quarter in KING'S NORTON Volume 06C Page 520 Order
HOWARD, ALBERT EDWARD WOODGATE Order
GRO Reference: 1905 M Quarter in HENDON Volume 03A Page 250

I suspect it will be the first one?

Births Mar 1905
Howard Albert Edward King's N. 6c 520

I am not getting any red writing!

At a guess I would think this is the parents' marriage:

I think this birth confirms that the maiden name should be Crockett and so fits with the above marriage:
