Can we have a name Whitstable, there are some records on Ancestry which might help. You could also try Family search . org.

We can't help without a name :)

NB If it was before 1837 there won't be a birth certificate, as civil registration only began then (1 July 1837).  Before that the best you will get will be a baptism certificate.  Do you know the relevant person's religion?

On Ancestry homepage, you will see featured records, some baptisms are there up to 1812 and 1813 onwards, I think the newer records have been transcribed but older one you will have to search church by church.

Is this his marriage?  (I see from the 1861 census that he was married to a Frances).

Marriage Dec qtr 1841

John DORGAN
Frances LEE

on same page, Sheppey 5 606

If this is right, the marriage certificate ought to tell you the name and occupation of his father.
