The information above is taken from a tree on Ancestry- the only way to confirm this would be to order the certificates.

Always start with the information you are sure about- for example, if you know your Roland married Lily Pimley, then ordering their marriage certificate could give you his age and father's details.

Hi Keely

Having a dig around, it looks like your dad could be Roland E Bruckshaw, your mom Jacqueline A Bruckshaw?

Your fathers dad could be Rowland Bruckshaw?

Pointless going any further until you come back with whatever details you have

I'll send you a message on how to return being as this is your first post

Have you found his birth registration? If it was after 1911 then the reg will show his mother's maiden name.

As long as the combination of both names isn't too common, look for a marriage between 2 people with the same surname and ( in the first instance) geographical area to his birth. Don't forget that he could have many siblings older than him - make sure that you set broad parameters.

If he was born before Apr 1911, he ought to be listed on the 1911 census. As long as he is with family, its usually possible to work out who his parents were.

Although birth, marriage and death index can be searched on this site, you may find the following one easier to use
