John you will need to get his birth certificate to find his parents names, on the 1901 census there are 73 Grover's in Brighton. Georgina.

You need to order your father's birth certificate as this will give his parents names. You then look for their marriage certificate and order that. From the info you have given this gets you back before 1900 when things actually get a bit easier as you can look for the family on the census returns What was your grandmother's name? Do you have any idea?
