Birth cert will usually give - address at birth + name of mother + name of father + occupation.

The birth certificate should give you both parents names and then you can look for their marriage

Karen,

You need to purchase the wedding certificate of you grandparents as this will give you both of their father's names and possibly some siblings if they were witnesses.
