So lets try and work out what you are asking, and how you can go about finding it - Rootschatters are pretty amazing, I know, but they do not have magic wands!
Your first post impies that it is Albert Langley that you are interested in.
Your second post tells us that you actually already know that he had a middle name, Arthur, married in August 1963, and that he was 57 then.
Now, it doesnt take a degree in Advanced astrophysics to therefore work out that Albert was born about 1906 - give or take a year or two.
So your first move will be to search the FULL birth indexes (free) at:
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx
Choose the FULL complete option, click on births, and then key in Langley and 1906. It should come up with 4 quarters of the year. By clicking on 'view image' you can see the page where the LAngley birts are listed, and can look through for your chap.
If you cant find him in 1906, try 1905 then 1907.
If it doesnt come up with 4 quarters for a year, or comes up with 'no match' (i.e.no quarters) DONT believe it - this is just a hiccup with the indexing of the pages. Just try a name near LAngley in the alphabet and then scroll through the pages using the green arrows at the top till you get to the right one.
When you find Albert Arthur's birth registratrion in the index, you can then send for his birth cert online from:
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
and you will therefore find out his parents
It is very simple, and absolutely essential for any Family Historian to learn how to do! You can use these indexes to find out more about the people you are looking for on your other posts: Egglesfield, hillam, Nutt, Newell, Tabor, Sharpe, Fred Archer etc - I am sure you will be surprised and thrilled as you find out more about them.

But did you find?
Following the instructions I set out above, I have just found Albert Arthur Langley's birth - it took about 2 minutes at the very most.
Now I am going to be really mean, I know, and not immediately post it here. Because I firmly believe that, in the long run, that would actually not be helping you! Far better if you look it up yourself, and so get familiar with the resourses that are freely available to all. You will then find this whole 'family history research thing' a lot more fun and rewarding yourself, and find you can make a lot more progress on several of your lines.
Needless to say, rootschatters are always willing to help if you get stuck , or do not understand anything.
Do report back on how you get on with finding Albert's birth - if you have trouble do ask, but I am sure you wont. Most of all - DO TRY!

Seconded - the same general advice applies also to the 1881 census, for which a transcript is available free on www.familysearch.org
