	Check the marriage certificate, you can order them online. If you do have the marriage details you could try familysearch and type in the fathers details, it may come up with the name of the person he married, listed in her maiden name.

	a woman's maiden name is only shown on her married certificate and her childrens birth certificate after the day she marries, so you need one of them.
