There seem to be two possible women, you could try searching for their children using Woodford and either of the maiden names on FreeBMD as Libby has done above

I have looked up your grandfather's birth and his mother's maiden was Burratt which is not the name I gave you but Montague W Woodford did marry in 1911 to Alice E Band , maybe she died and he married again...

your granfather's birth registration is
Woodford Clifford A mother's maiden name Burratt
Sep 1922
Brentford
3a 305
