As they will have died after 1930 (probably), the only way to find their deaths is to search through the FULL death indexes, quarter by quarter, year by year, until you find people with the right name born at the right time. As your father was estranged from his parents, they could have moved from the area and died anywhere.

FreeBMD only covers upto 1920's so will probably be no use. You could narrow it down - obviously they would both have been alive when your father and any siblings were born, were they present at the marriage of any of them?

Searching backwards is far, far easier than trying to come forwards :-)
