Same surname suggests he was illegitimate and mother Ellen is single on census so you may never know who the father was.

You could try sending for the birth certificate but chances are the fathers box will be blank.

Here is the birth registration.

Sep 1895 Uppingham 7a 355
Lewin Thomas William

Is he the Thomas William Lewin who was killed 15 Jun 1917 in WW1? If so, it looks as if he was illegitimate as his records give his next of kin as mother  Mrs Miss Ellen Lewin. Mrs has been firmly crossed out. This could make finding his father very difficult.
