EDIT - ignore this as I thought it was your nanna whose maiden name was Bow.

Was your nanna's name Margaret A. Bow born Warrington?

Hello.

When was your Nanna born?

Have you found her on the 1939 register? If you don't have access to the 1939 register, let us know. Lots of people can look for you.

Is she likely to be on any census upto 1911?

Look for a marriage of her parents using her surname and mother's maiden name- if there are a lot possible marriages we can often help.

You can also look for possible siblings of your Nanna using the same surname and mother's maiden name.

If you want to order the birth certificate for your Nanna- you can here:

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

A birth certificate will tell you her Mother's and father's name. They cost £9.25, although you can get a digital copy for £6.

If your Nanna married her marriage certificate will tell you her father's name and occupation. A copy of the certificate from the GRO costs £9.25 (including postage)

If you want to share her name and year of birth I'm sure we can help.

As well as the GRO site I posted above, you might also find this free site useful to search for births/ deaths/ marriages:
