Do you know when Sarah died?
Her age at death might point you to the right person....or if she married her age should be on the marriage certificate.

Does it have mother's occupation on the birth cert? If it does it might help to narrow it down.

Did Albert stay with his mother? Who raised him?
Were there other children born to her?

The details that I suggested considering won't be on his birth certificate but you may have to browse through later records on GRO to see what happened to Sarah
