I can't see a likely marriage of his parents around that time.

If you are reasonably sure I've found the right birth for your father, the birth certificate will give his parents names.

Can't find a brother born Shoreditch.

Verifying Liverbird's possible marriage:

Age: 21
Estimated birth year: abt 1886
Spouse Name: Frederick Whittaker
Spouse Age: 21
Record Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 22 Apr 1907

County: London
Borough: Hackney
Father Name: Henry Johnson
Spouse Father Name: Benjamin Whittaker

Frederick Whittaker bach, 21, French Polisher, of 1 Brunswick Square, son of Benjamin Whittaker, porter, married Kate Johnson, spinster, 21, of 114 Brunswick Street, daur of Henry Johnson cabinet maker. The name 'Charles' has been added over the top of Henry Johnson. Witnesses Charles James Banks and Elizabeth Jane Whittaker.

Baptism for Frederick Ernest Whittaker:

Name: Frederick Ernest Whittaker

Estimated Birth Date: abt 1886

Father's name: Benjamin Sidney Whittaker
Mother's name: Louisa Whittaker

Born 8th march 1886. Father's occupation: Pefumer. Address 1 Aske St

Edit: Perfumer and porter doesn't sound particularly likely as career choices for the same person, but father of Frederick/Frederick Ernest is named Benjamin in both cases, and Frederick/Frederick Ernest's birth given as c 1886 in both cases.

Any thoughts Derek? Are you going to send for the birth cert I suggested

Hello, and thank you so much. Yes, I am so lucky having people helping me. Again, thank you.
