As he was born before the 1911 census - have you looked for him on that census?

mother died at child birth?

If you check freebmd you will find his birth was registered in the Westminster RD and there is a match on the free 1911 index in Westminster which will give you his parents names/ birthyears/birthplaces.  His mother was alive at the time of the census

If you have a copy of the 1938 marriage cert - what was his fathers name?

George F Davidson born Q1/1911 – Volumne 1a, page 434

The birth was registered Westminster, London you can apply to the General Records Office for a certificate.

Born 6 Jan 1911 Died Dec 2005 Watford, Hertfordshire, age 94.

None on the 1911 census seem to fit with your information.

You say you think that his mother died as he was born.
There are no female Davidson deaths in either March or June 1/4 of 1911 that fit age wise.

There is a marriage on freebmd in 1909 between a Harry George Davidson and an Ethel Hawkins who may be his parents

Quite likely - but not with parents in 1911

There is a death of an Ethel Davidson aged 28  in Chelsea in September quarter 1915. However I can't see the birth of a baby about that time, but of course it could be a stillbirth.
