Hello, I am trying to search for my Husbands mothers’ family, without much luck

The surname is Gill and her father; Walter Richard Gill was born in January 1907 in Walthamstow.
His father, on the birth certificate is Fredrick Gill, Bricklayer, and his mother, who registered the birth, is down as Mary Elizabeth Gill, formerly Burns.

Walter Gills marriage certificate dated April 1930 confirms his father’s name – Fredrick Gill, and Occupation, Bricklayer.

I have been very successful in my searches of my family & my husband’s fathers’ side but the Gills are evading me.
I have tried the FreeBMD, Genes reunited, 1881 Mormon census and Ancestry.co.uk, all draw blanks when I’m searching for Fredrick Gill. Any that seem of the right age or location are not married to a Mary Burns.

Have you any idea where I could go next. Walter Gill only had one daughter, and she can’t provide me with any more to go on.
