If Clara the younger was her daughter then her birth registration (Free BMD index) should give a mothers maiden name so you can look for a marriage of her parents.

Clara the mother should be on a census if we can find her maiden name which will lead to a birth place for her.

In luck the marriage is online

28 Jun 1920 Pendleton

Herbert Dykes 24 father Joseph
Clara Asten 24 no father named but one of the witnesses is William Asten

Gleaning info from census William I believe was her grandfather.

Clara born Pendleton.  No mothers maiden name on birth registration.
