Do the witnesses' names give you any clues? Also, if you post up the details you have we may be able to come up with some suggestions. Kate.

Apply for your Gfather's birth cert which will give you his mother's maiden name then you can get his parents marriage cert and work back from there.

Also try census years depending on when your gfather was born. this should tell you where he was born.
