If this is a way of asking for a 1911 lookup - you know it's off limits  ;D

Have you tried using his parents/siblings names?

Its a bit complicated but his Grandaughter is also my relative.I'm searching on behalf of the Grandaughter in her father's ancestry and This Norman's name is pivotal.

There is a probate entry here

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

Was he perhaps illegitimate and his mother married pre-1911?

Possible yes.The Probate record is interesting it points to Norman marrying twice.
