If he is the Clement Augustine Fry, who married in Birmingham, in 1940 to Gladys Hall, then his father was named as Frederick Fry.

Yes and he was also married before to a Rose Grace Powell. She died in 1939.

He died in 1976 at 167 Hanham Road, Kingswood.

Are you sure of the date?

There is a death with the birth date you quote registered Mar 1974 Kingswood

Burial 6 Feb 1974

[Milliepede]

The birth certificate will confirm the name of his mother for you.

There are a lot of sisters of Florrie and Mabel and a brother Clement

6 year old nephew may be a clue but transcribed as "Gessie" 

I wonder if actress Mabel was his mother?  But the birth will confirm for sure
