Guess you had too much of caffeine lol
Let me tell you new rule ..'A lie that cannot be proven is not a lie in fact better than truth at times' ...enough said!
I'm not sure what Google you are referring to and what type of searches you do..I do constructive research on google and only consider authentic sites, articles and I don't really look into stuff with spelling mistakes. I never consider what strangers are saying I do my study and then act. All are strangers on this forum too. Google is not about blogs and forums, may be that's what have been through most. Search engines are best platform for research. I would advise you to use Google in a right way and for right reasons. You may go the distance.
Re the reply to Tulip...My first suggestion was to get the authentic dates, but if not then use the imagination and come up with a date.. I wrote the dates what my parents gave me and I never asked for proof so it could a wrong date but I got my passport.
Let me tell explain you what lying is...If I know parents marriage date is 01/01/1900 and I deliberately wrote 02/02/1900 ..this is lying... where I don't know the date and I just write any dates..that could be classed as human error and will do the job...
Again I would say get the dates right...
Thanks.

'Better safe than sorry' I strongly believe in this and that's why my journey has been smooth and easy since I arrived in UK 6.3 years ago. If you ask others everyone will have a different point of view. I would never ever rely on check and send guys. I would rather do my own research. I'm a bit crazy. Even when GP prescribes any medicine I research the medicine and then decide to take it or not. For me Google is right and everyone else is wrong. I did my research and noticed grand parents details are not required however guidelines doesn't clearly say this. There is no harm in providing additional details i.e. parents or grand parents details (even hand written on plain sheet). I personally think parent's marriage date is important but I don't think they will refuse your application as some are never married but have kids. It's common sense Home office never asked and doesn't have too much details about parents. They are not asking for copies of their passport or other documents. They will never know the parents/grand parents details ...date of marriage etc. I would rather write in any date (right or wrong) then leaving it blank. Common sense!
You're British and no one can stop you from getting passport.
Thanks.

some are saying those who are applying as naturalized citizens for their first birtish passport they just need to fill parents details not grandparents and even though its already mentioned there . I applied today as a naturalized citzen i provided parents DOB , everything except i didnt have their marriage date . I left grandparents section blank. At check and send service the lady checked it and didnt ask to fill out the grandparents details and marriage date of my parents. Now looking at some posts I got confused some are saying to provide everything including grandparent details and some not.
If you truly "believe" in Google is always right then you are not really doing your research, you are just putting your trust in some strangers you have never met as opposed to someone you have. Hardly any difference I would say. Remember Google doesn't do any fact check its merely a search engine and if majority of people are wrong any results it produces will be wrong as well. There are plenty of example of Google suggesting wrong results/spellings even, because most of the users are misspelling it. Look it up. So look at all the sources and make up your own mind instead of putting blind trust in any one source.
Anyway, the point I wanted to address was your advise about filling in any date. In my opinion this is a wrong advise, if you don't know the dates just leave them blank. That would be common sense. Knowingly lying is not common sense. Just because HO is not checking doesn't make it any less of a lie.
This is what you agree to as part of declaration.
It is a criminal offence to make a false statement to get a passport. If you have made a false statement on this form, you could be prosecuted and could go to prison. Our work includes checking that the countersignature in section 10 is genuine.
