You are going to have to employ sneaky swiftness. I've done this, and it wasn't easy. Hod & Gerdur have pretty simple schedules, but there are times where they are alone in the village. I would wait until night, though not late enough that Frodnar has gone back to the house to sleep. Hod will be inside, drinking most likely and should be an easy stealth kill. Gerdur was far more difficult because she moves around Riverwood much more. I was able to catch her by the mill, around sunset. Just make sure you check around you that no one is watching. Often, Faendal will be standing near Gerdur and even if fully hidden, he may still see you.
