The first thing you should do, is search trees on here, and see if there are any other people who have your grandparents in their trees. Then send them a message to exchange information.

Are you sure Maud was born in 1911, or is this birth reg not her?

Search on freebmd for births - surname Hall, mmn Shenton for 1938. There is one birth for a daughter, which may be relevant.

If you agree that the 1910 birth ref is your grandmother, purchase the BC which will give her parent(s) name(s).

Do either of her MC's name a father? That will help find him and or his siblings. The witnesses, especially on the 1st MC could be relatives from either side.
