Think that is this one:
Births Sep 1907
ELWELL Thomas Henry Aston 6d 329

He (Wolverhampton) is not immediately obvious on 1911

I'm not sure that the 1911 I posted is the right lad - there were a few births of the same name around the same time.

You're going to have to ask your friend for more info - parents, siblings, spouse, death.

They MUST know something else about him in order to be asking.

Alan - don't get too excited!! Your friend will no doubt need to buy some certificates to verify.

Did he marry Florence Mary Hadley - the subject of your other thread? (A tree on Ancestry has them as a couple).

Why did you not keep it all on one thread as they married each other

Ask your friend to purchase the marriage cert which has been posted on the other thread to find out the fathers names
