Parish registers only began in 1538 so unless a birth was noted somewhere else it is unlikely you will get a precise date or even year.

Other records you could search for leads as to a possible date are
Deeds (from 11c)
Feet of Fines (from late 12c to early 19c)
Manor Court Rolls (from 13c)
Inquisition Post Mortem (from early 13c to early 17c)
Lay Subsidies (from early 13c to end of 17c)
Quarter Sessions (from mid/late 14c)
Probates (from mid/late 14c)
Chancery Proceedings (from late 14c to late 19c)
Visitations (from 16c to early 17c)
Apprentices and Freemen (from 16c)
School and University Registers (from 16c)
Marriage Licences (from 16c)

These records, if your ancestor appears in any or all of them, will also help to build a picture of their life.

Good luck with your research

Well said, Chris.

The suggestions malyon has posted are from Familysearch Pedigree Files. An awful lot of assuming & wishful thinking goes into those!
