Thanks for the quick replies, I guess its not as easy as i first thought, but I am determined!!

I know the date my grandparents married, I have their birth certificate here so have date etc, therefore have both of their fathers names. But I dont have their fathers birth dates or where they 'originated' from.

Phoebes parents were Harold Watts & Phoebe Watts (Who would obviously have been formerly known as something else!)

Jeese I am confused already!

so you need to look for both marriages ,try Freebmd,
look for a marriage for Albert Cook to Mary Ann Harris first and see how you get on

Researching:
Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957

You will find the following site very useful.

www.freebmd.org.uk

It's a free site and firly easy to navigate about.

If you enter the names of your grandparents, and select the marriage option it should give you the date they married and the area.

People tended to marry where they were born....(altho there are exceptions to this!) So this would be your next step.

Then you would need to order the marriage cert, this will give you your GGgrandfathers names, and hopefully you should be able to find them on the census.

You need to look for the marriages of both sets of parents...............

Do you know Phoebe's maiden name?
