If you buy his birth certificate it will have his mother's name on it. It depends on whether or not she named his father as to whether you will get that as well.

Only buy the certificate from the GRO in Southport. Some other websites charge a lot more.

Did he keep his birth name throughout his life? Your post sounds as if he did.
EDIT:
Yes, per death record below.

Do you have a copy of his birth cert?
Does it give his father's name?

hi I'm looking for information on my grandad Douglas McDonald Wyatt born 1931-1995 Cuckfield Sussex. His mum maiden name was BLAKE. Douglas was given up around aged 3 to Dr Barnardo home. He was then living with a family Surname CARPENTER in Hampshire aged 8. We don't have much more information on Douglas and hoping someone here can help please. Thank you
