This looks like your uncle:
Births Sep 1926 (>99%)
Rowan Alfred Jones Liverpool 8b 37

Deaths Mar 1927 (>99%)
Rowan Alfred 0 Liverpool 8b 82


Using http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/
Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1925
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference
ROWAN Agnes M Exchange Liverpool EXCH/7A/17

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1926
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference
ROWAN Alfred Exchange Liverpool EXCH/13A/52

Lancashire Death indexes for the years: 1927
Surname Forename(s) Age Sub-District Registers At Reference
ROWAN Alfred 0 Abercromby Liverpool ABE/85/73

Note that Alfred, like your dad and Agnes, was rego'ed in the Exchange subdistrict of Liverpool.
I presume they moved to the Abercromby subdistrict in 1926/7 as there's only one Alfred birth rego'ed in Liverpool in 1926/7.

You will not find her date of birth on ancestry, just the qtr she was registered

If she had died then you may find it on the death registration after 1969 up until 2006

It looks like Agnes remarried in 1958 to a Harvey

Have you tried on FreeBMD using the birth surname and mothers maiden name - ie the same as your fathers

Perhaps Agnes was her middle name
