Thanks iluleah
The family story is that she was a German Jewess but that could be completely wrong, but might explain lack of baptismal record.

quite a few Kelks on FreeReg for Nottingham.

As 'hepburn' says plenty of the name around Notinghamshire... you could also look at https://www.jewishgen.org/ however from experience I would not research family stories instead follow the records.
St Mary Magdalene Church is in the town on Church Walk and CofE so unlikely her children would be baptised out of faith

Thanks for the hints
