Insufficient info posted given the surname.

Married when and where?  www.freebmd.org.uk

Have you looked for them on a census after marriage to confirm birthplace? 

Have you bought a copy of the marriage cert to establish her fathers name?

Grantham is in Lincolnshire - not Norfolk.

They are very easily found on the 1871 census if you use Family Search

You will see her mother is living with them.  Use FS to find her on earlier censuses to get her fathers name
