Most important, have you actually submitted what you have to your State Society? If you haven't submitted anything yet, why don't you submit what you have and I hope that someone on this list will have something that will help you. It's helpful, when posting to the list, to give your gr. grandmother's name and the town, county and state where she lived. Did you check the Social Security Death Index and then send for her original Social Security Application? Was her husband ever in the Service? I sent to Nat Archives and received my grandfather's service record, which showed my mother's name as his dependent. I don't understand why the US Census is not admissable, if it shows her name and her sister, when living with her parents. If she lived with your parents during a census year, that would be documented as well. I just misplaced all my proof for my great,great grandparents marriage, so I do sympathize with you.
