Having checked Minnie's marriage, I think this might be her birth:

Births Mar 1915 (>99%)
Freeman Minnie W R Mumme Islington 1b 656

after digging through the attic we finally found a birth certificate
he was born feb 1938 in cleveland...(so not middlesbrough then) to david john williams and minnie freeman
would really like to know about the siblings. there is john born in 1936 along with david born at the same time but also shows death certificate at the same time.
minnie remarried wilfred randall and had a daughter mary in 1954 sowould love to know more about that side of the family if anyone can help...i am hitting a brick wall now

he says he was in care in middlesbrough so perhaps guessing he was born there rather than actual fact.

Was he actually born in Middlesbrough? Not seeing a Middlesbrough 1938 birth.

eric williams was born in 1938 and placed in care in middlesbrough at about two years of age. he stayed in the care system, moving to pickering and then scarborough. he had one brother, a couple of years older i believe by the name of john.
we really want to find any relatives but i am new to searching and although i can fine a birth certificate for eric i am unsure how to find any relatives especially the brother when the names are so common. any advice greatfully received
