If he knew his father’s name, it will be on his marriage cert

Have you looked at censuses?

Also, look for a birth on freebmd, then, if there is one, follow-up on the GRO site for MMN

I’ve checked, and he was born 1868 in Little Bourton Oxon and the record is on freebmd, so you can look for it now on the GRO site

Then look for a marriage for the parents to find out their forenames
