Possible for his father, if you want to go further back:-

1881

Name: George Trotter
Age: 15
Estimated birth year: abt 1866
Relationship to Head: Son
Mother: Alice Trotter
Gender: Male
Where born: North Shields, Northumberland, England
Civil Parish: Tynemouth
County/Island: Northumberland
Country: England
Street address: 60 Coburgh St
Occupation: Scholar

To be sure you would need to buy his birth certificate to find out his father's name. It will also give you an address at the time of marriage which may help, his father's occupation and names of witnesses who may be relatives.
