Seeking help to discover grandparents names.

[macatac007]

Could any of you great people please help at all.
My partner lost her parents whilst a young child, ive recently managed to get ahold of their death certificates.
My partner does not know the names of her grandparents and would love to find out.
I have very limited info, gotten from the death certificates if anybody is able to help at all.
My partners father was Sidney Foulkes b july 1st 1907 in Bolton.
Her mother was Elsie Foulkes,nee Hornby born approx 1922/23 possibly Bolton. Passed away Jan 1963.
It would mean so much to my partner if she could discover her grandparents names, any help would be greatly appreciated
