Its a family visit visa you require if she had a British passport then you would not require a visa.

VAT2.4 What is a family visitor?

The same as for a visitor. Under the Immigration Appeals (Family Visitor) Regulations 2003, a family visitor is defined as someone who intends to visit someone who is related to them in the following way:

1. the applicant's spouse, father, mother, son, daughter, grandfather, grandmother, grandson, granddaughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece or first cousin (note: "first cousin" means, in relation to a person, the son or daughter of his uncle or aunt);
2. the father, mother, brother or sister of the applicant's spouse;
3. the spouse of the applicant's son or daughter;
4. the applicant's stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother or stepsister; or
5. a person with whom the applicant has lived as a member of an unmarried couple for at least two of the three years before the day on which his application for entry clearance was made.
