Born late 1887, he will show on censuses as born 1888 - assuming the DOB he gives in 1939 is accurate

Sounds Irish to me

What was his occupation?

And his father's?

I need some help locating the birth place of this man, his father was called Patrick. Wife, Elizabeth Annie Humphrey, they married in 1917 in the Reigate Registry Office.

Thanks Ingrid
