Thank you all for your replies - I think I just need someone to tell me that I shall probably never find his birth as I seem to have exhausted all avenues I can think of. I looked into all Daniels born Outwell for his time frame but none of them tied in. You are probably right, he was never registered and therefore the chance of finding his birth family are nil. Maybe one day....
Thank you all anyway.

Birth registration wasn't compulsory until 1875, so he may not have been registered.

According to various records I have, my G-Grandfather DANIEL ATKINS was born in Outwell, Norfolk c. 1854/55. I have been unable to find any birth record for him on Ancestry; all I know is that his father was also DANIEL ATKINS a Carpenter. I have been able to trace him from the date of his marriage in 1875 but nothing for previous years. Can anyone help solve this 7 year mystery?
