I found that Thomas C.Lamb, Born: 24Sep1921, Died: 27Mar1984, Buried: Durham Crematorium.
The Book of Remberance Mar 27, Vol. 1 indicates he had children and Grandchildren. Caption Reads" dear Husband,Father & Grandfather".
I've researched Thomas on Ancestry. But can't find whom his offspring were. Any ideas where I should look.

Have you looked on freebmd for a marriage.
ADDED
Presumably this is his death registration with no middle initial /name
Death 1984
LAMB, THOMAS date of birth 24 SEP 1921
DURHAM WEST 1 1672
-
Who were his parents, where was he born :-\
-
I assume that you have found the marriage of a Thomas C Lamb in 1973 in Durham. That gives you a wife’s last name. There are two Durham Lamb births with that mothers maiden name, 1974 and 1981.
No names here because all of these people may be living.
I did not find anything in newspapers relating to the 1984 death that you mentioned.

He is with his parents in Spennymoor in 1939.
-
His parents were John & Ethel (nee Longstaff)
They had twins in 1921 but no middle name for Thomas
Births Dec 1921
Lamb Ethel mmn Longstaff Auckland 10a 405

You may need to purchase his death certificate to see if that gives any clues as to his wife.
What does the C stand for as neither his birth registration or death registration give a middle name, neither does the book of remembrance

As you have his wifes surname and year of marriage you can search freebmd (free of charge) using just the 2 surnames and it should list any children.
