Have you done google searches to see for yourself what is available?
e.g.:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/618.htm

If your grandfather and grandmother were married, his father should show on the marriage certificate.
Do you need help in looking those records up?

Don't know about that Sean, but did he marry your grandmother? If you can get their marriage cert it will have his father's name on it, assuming he knew it, which would be a start.
