You could also try to find a marriage for your grandparents. The index entry would give you her first name (if you don't) already know it. The cert for that would give her father's name. Also, if you know roughly when she was born you could search for her birth.

Try freebmd to find the index entries

If you struggle, come back and give us some details and somebody will try to help..
