http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx - I guess these are fairly recent people so might want to start here! Should be able to spot the births of your Dad + siblings, and hopefully the marriage of his parents.  All for free, although it can take a while to work through all the images. Hopefully you won't run into too many missing pages over on Ancestry...
