I think the first stop would be to find your father's birth certificate, that would give you his fathers name and his mothers maiden name, you can then check the General Register Office Indexes to find out if he had brothers and sisters. If you don't have your fathers birth certificate you can use the GRO index to find that too (as long as you have his date of birth ) the index is arranged by quarters, so births in Jan Feb March appear in the March quarter, The index is on line (and its free) at ancestry.co.uk although there is some errors you have to be creative to find some of the entries, otherwise use a pay per view site like 1837.com
