CAN ANYBODY FIND MY GRANDFATHER - JACK HILL

Hello there,

For the heaven's above, I can't find anything to do with my grandfather, Jack Hill (could be John, Joseph anything...) I've done some FreeBMD searches and Ancestry to no avail. I know he was 46 years old when he died in 1957, so that would give a birth roughly of 1911, I think in the Buckinghamshire area, but that is not necessarily true, just a guess. He married a Kate Illsey (or Illsley) around 1930-1934 time and had my mother, Pamela in October 1934. I'm simply trying to find a birth, marriage or death record for Jack and his wife Kate Hill nee Illsey or Illsley. Kate was married before she married Jack to a Marshall, so she would've been Kate Marshall at one point, but can I heck find her either. Kate would've also been born roughly 1910-1911 time as she had two boys before my mother, Albert Marshall and Bob Marshall, both born around late 1920s.

Any help is much appreciated to a newbie like me. :D

Jack died in or around the Wycombe area of Buckinghamshire, but I only know Buckinghamshire for definite. The two births there maybe a clue, its the marriage I'm dying to find.
