Gertrude is certainly elusive, very frustrating for you when you seem to have father's name and full birth date...if correct of course. Did her second marriage certificate have the same details for her father's name and occupation?
I looked at her children's baptisms....the first two in St Francis de Sales in the Walton area of Liverpool , then the next two in St Patricks the other side of Liverpool in Toxteth, then the last two back to St Francis de Sales....to me that is unusual.
I think Godmother Ada ROSSITER may be Ada FITZPATRICK who married Patrick ROSSITER at St Patricks in 1891. She may have been a friend of Gertrude. I looked at Ada's children's baptism to see if Gertrude was a Godmother but no joy there.
Isabelle LANGLEY was Godmother to Hilda COLE in 1914 at St Francis de Sales and the COLE address then was 63 Delamore St. In the 1911 census she has a birth year of 1879 like Gertrude and her address is 61 Delamore St Kirkdale and she has a daughter named Hilda. Isabelle's maiden name is SMITH and her widowed mother is Elizabeth SMITH.
This doesn't help you find Gertrude but connections can provide clues.
good luck with your search
