Phew. 

               I can read a lot of it with difficulty but couldn't guarantee the accuracy.

      It's late now but I'll have a go tomorrow.  I think others will be able to add bits

       and together it might make sense. Do you know which Newspaper carried the

         report?. They might have it on file   You know the place and the date. I assume

           it's a local newspaper.

About the best I can do I'm afraid.
POB looks like Ilkeston if it helps.
According to the 1939 register she was born 22nd. Sept. 1910.
Edgar Smith married Edith Clarke 1932.
GRO Ref.
Dec. 1932 Belper/7b/1674
Her birth is probably this one as Basford was the Reg. District for Ilkeston:
Births Sep 1910
CLARKE Edith Basford/7b/267
MMN Jowett.
You should find them in 1911 but you need the above marriage cert. to confirm.

Like Guy, my program of choice is Brothers Keeper. I have been using it since the DOS days of 1994/5. It is as easy to use as PAF, if not easier, so well worth having a go with the shareware version.
If you add a child to an unmarried person the program will automatically generate a spouse of (not entered), which can be updated later if required.
For the father of the child which is registered under the name of the de-facto although it could not be his I would add a spouse of Unknown (or something similar). BK has note space which is easy to use for explanations of unusual situations.
