If you look at the dark green bar at the top of this page you will see a button that says search trees.
Click on it and you will see a search box.
Enter Sydney Shepherd and 1908 plus or minus 3 and these results come up. Anerley is very close to Bromley so a good possibility.

I feel for your friend but during wartime people moved about the country so he could have been born anywhere.
You may need some more clues.
How long did the relatioship last?
How accurate is the 1910 guess?
If he was fairly local there are some I would check out first but it will be a slow elimination process. You will also need to take into account spelling variations for Sydney and Shepherd.

Births Dec 1905 (>99%)
Shepherd Sydney William Shoreditch 1c 50

Births Mar 1908 (>99%)
Shepherd Sydney James Croydon 2a 371

Births Sep 1910 (99%)
SHEPHERD Sydney E P Camberwell 1d 886

Births Mar 1914 (>99%)

Do you have Sidney born 1942 birth certificate?

Try
http://www.bromley.gov.uk/libraries/librariesintheborough/local_studies_library.htm

This is Bromley library and they have a local studies section.

Yes his son has the same name, Sidney Shepherd, born 1942 in Bromley and we know he was at that address with his mother Dorothy Louise Ball and his father Sidney Shepherd, but they didnt marry and my friend is trying to find some info on his father as he never knew him.

Cheers
