Oops, I just realised that my theory doesn't hold water, because the Woodchurch registration sub-district included everything from Hoylake, where she was born, to Oxton and Prenton, where I think the children's homes I cited above were located (https://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/subdists.php).
So the fact that in 1911 she was declared as being born in Wirral, Woodchurch, Cheshire, is just a "copy/paste" from her birth certificate which has at the top, "Wirral district, Woodchurch sub-district, and Cheshire county (it actually says "County of Chester).
So my hasty conclusions come to nothing!
My apologies KGarrad
