Help for a novice please

What a fantastic resource! However I am struggling to get started on my fathers side. My grandparents Lennard and Dorothy Jones lived in Grahamston Road Sedbury when I was a child in the 1950's and 60's. My father Leslie Jones always said he went to school and to church in Tutshill. Dorothy was from Tutshill and her maiden name was Jones. Lennard was born in Tunnel Cottage in Tidenham. My father remembered visiting both grandmothers (Granny Tutshill and Granny Tidenham). My grandmother died in Coney Hill Hospital, perhaps 30 - 35 years ago. My problem? I can find no record of their BMD's, no mention of Tunnel Cottage anywhere. Dad had several brothers and sisters, Marjorie died aged 34 - cant find any record of this. Dad has gone now but his one surviving brother doesn't remember a thing - birthdays, anniversaries etc. Can anyone out there help me please. On my mothers side Iam doing well, probably because I spent all my childhood holidays with my maternal Granny in Pwllmeyric and learned all about her childhood and siblings. I know absolutely nothing about Dads side but would love to find out.
