That's a good find.

Edith May Whitehead (mmn Rayner) born 5 May 1916 Bromley was in Bromley at the start of WW2.  There is no sign that she had a skilled occupation.

In all the circumstances Edith Margaret Whitehead (mmn Mitchell) born I think on 21 Sep 1916 in Fulham looks a more likely contender.  Apart from anything else she is a good geographical match with the 1933 Kensington birth and Fulham foster mother.
