Look for his birth on the FREE GRO site - when you decide the correct year of birth

Or get a copy of his marriage cert for father’s name

Have you looked for him in censuses…..FREE on familysearch?

Sorry, but if you 'haven’t found anything’ how can you possibly know where he was born? Or even approximately when?

Mary had second initial ’J’

Are you 100% certain that Henry born 1917 was the child of the 1913 marriage? What evidence do you have?

IF the tree on Ancestry is yours (pretty sure it is!!).................with DoB for Henry as 1st February 1917, neither of these births is his

Births Dec 1915 (>99%)
HALL Henry SCOTT Whitehaven 10b 1135
Births Sep 1917 (>99%)
Hall Henry Scott Whitehaven 10b 114

However, when one reads the death record carefully, the birth was NOT February.
