I know there was a thread on here recently regarding the finding of grandparents siblings, but blowed if I can find it. Is there a way of finding them?

It depends on the time-scale.......if they were likely to be born after 1911, it's a case of trawling the birth records on either Ancestry or findmypast, to find any registered with matching surnames........slow and tedious..........and not foolproof. You would have to purchase the certs to ensure that the forenames of the parents also matched........

If pre-1901, check the census..........
