Ok MarEphraim this is what I found that appeased my same question to
the matter.

GoF Ch1

let me set the scene.  It is fifty years before Harry Potter is at
Hogwarts.  Tom Riddle/Voldemort is around 17 or so.  That being so,
his father would be around 40-50, and his grandparents would be around
60-70.

"Elderly Mr. and Mrs. Riddle...their grown-up son."

Voldemort's father was single at the time since Voldemort's mom was
dead.  His parents would be elderly.  It is possible that Voldemort's
dad would be elderly, and also possible that he remarried, but the
fact that any son Mr. Riddle Sr. had after he left Voldemort and his
mom would not be "grown-up."

So they were Voldemort's grandparents and his father.  His father
never remarried.

Now, did that make any sense?
