I think this could be your grandads birth registration

So his mothers maiden name is POSSIBLE HILES

so I will look for her marriage to your great grandad

This MAY be them

So your Grandad was
Ricahrd Roberst born 1913
his mum .......Louie
His father ......Charles Roberts


Does this help

Roberts Charles Headington 3a 780
In DEcember 1885

THIS COULD be his fathers birth but this would need to be checked with a certificate

from the 1901:
Name: Louie Hiles
Age: 25
Estimated birth year: abt 1876
Relation: Daughter
Mother's Name: Anne
Where born: Oxfordshire,
Civil parish: Cowley St John
Ecclesiastical parish: Cowley St John
Town: Oxford
Registration district: Headington
Sub-registration district: St Clement

Anne Hiles 54
John Hiles 28
Louie Hiles 25
Francis Hiles 20
Agnes Hiles 19

i found a 1901 census with another louise hiles

george hiles head m 52
jane hiles wife m 50
albert hiles son s 16
annie hiles daug s 14
charles hiles son s 12
louise hiles daug s 10
thomas hiles son s 8
ann l hiles daug s 6
beatrace hiles daug s 2

all living at 13 caroline st, st clements

BUT this is LOUISE and the lady we are looking for is LOUIE

And also Louise is only 10 in 1901 so she would have been 19 in 1911 when she married which also possible ...so you will need her sons birthcertificate or their marriage certificate
