And well you might try to find info, David! You're talking about info regarding his ancestry, I assume.
I can't find the births of any of your father or uncles in the GRO index -- if your father was the eldest, none of them may have been transcribed yet. If your grandparents married shortly before your father's birth, their marriage may not have been transcribed yet. Searching at
http://www.freebmd.org.uk
for the most up-to-date database (Ancestry lags behind), there's nuttin'.
Also can't find a birth for your grandfather. Or your grandfather in the 1901 census. Did he manage to be born just after it?
Now there are candidates for your grandmother -- for instance, this Margaret in Swansea in 1901:
Name: Margaret Lynch
Age in 1901: 4
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1897
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: James
Mother's Name: Margaret
Gender: Female
Where born: Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales
There are loads of Saunders-s in Swansea in 1901, but no Percival. Do you know whether he was from there?
Do you know about your grandmother? Do you know your grandparents' approx dates of birth? the date of their marriage?
If you know the date of their marriage, then even if it isn't transcribed it can be found pretty quickly by downloading the image for the relevant page at Ancestry, to get the registration details. Ordering the marriage certificate would then give you their ages and fathers' names.
Do you know whether Tresadie is a family name of some sort? A search at FreeBMD shows no birth, marriage or death of anyone named Tresadie, as either a surname or a given name. (And google finds it only at an anagram site.) No typo in your post?
Your father's birth registration details are
Apr-May-Jun 1921
SAUNDERS Percival F
mother's surname: Lynch
district: Swansea
vol: 11a
page: 2594
but of course that certificate wouldn't get you any more than you have now. If you have an idea of when his parents married, I or someone can take a shot at looking up the registration details so you could at least get the marriage certificate and make a start.

Following up on your PM (that's "private message"), David, I'll just copy the info for you. ;)
"Margaret Lynch age 4 in 1901 Swansea is my grand mother,I have a birth certified of my father now.
Grandfather information I am finding a bit few and far between, don't think he was born in Swansea, I think Wor/Staff/Midland's area.A taxi driver living at 9 Bernman Street Swnasea in 1921."
If you do a search at
http://www.freebmd.org.uk
for births 1890-1900
surname: Saunders
given name: Percival
you'll see 5 possibilities. Do any of them look like they might match?
Actually, since he could have been older than your grandmother (who was born 1896-7), you might take the search back to 1880 or so.
