Baptism look-up request for Edith May Forty Elen, born 1879

[Olicana]

Edith May Forty Elen's birth was registered in J Quarter of 1879 in ST GEORGE HANOVER SQUARE  Volume 01A  Page 415, but her mother's maiden name is not listed. I would appreciate it if someone could look-up her baptism as I am trying to find her parents' names. Thank you

Absence of a mothers maiden name from the GRO online search usually means she was illegitimate

[Olicana]

I presume the baptism record would have her mother's name then?

[CaroleW]

If one can be found.  Nothing so far on FS or Ancestry

According to a couple of trees on Ancestry her parents were William Bennett ELEN and Elizabeth TOWNLEY, married Marylebone Mar qtr 1869.
