An or his?

I'm not sure whether to put "an" or "his" in this sentence :

Tun Tan Cheng lock was born in 1883 in Melaka. Then he had ( Cloze ) early education in Melaka.

An or his? or anything else? Emotion: surprise if so, why? "his" is possessive pronouns, but , "an" can be used before vowels and nouns and adjectives ( and "early" is an adjective? ) right? so , which is the answer? O_O , still new in grammar xD

the original question in the excercise the teacher gave is:

Tun Tan Cheng lock was born ( Cloze ) 1883 in Melaka. Then he had ( Cloze ) early education in Melaka.

Thank you Emotion: big smile
