Just to add - I have checked for Margaret Nixon births in Manchester after 1900, and there are three. And of course she might have been born elsewhere. So you might need the marriage cert to ascertain her age and father's details, unless your mother knows her grandparents' names..

Hello Tracey.
Have you tried looking on Freebmd? This is a free site and easy to look for birth, marriage and death records.

It might help you to get your grandparents' marriage cert. This can be obtained online from the GRO (just google it) and would cost you £9.25.
