Hi Lily,
I received the certificates from the GRO and they confirmed that the Margaret Hilda Davies pointer you gave me was correct.
Thank you very very much for your help,
Wes

1911 Gore's Directory shows only 2 households on Goschen St in Old Swan and no Davies so I'm assuming that other houses must have been built after 1910 when the directory would have been compiled.
Only Henry Davies, joiner is on Burdett St.
1938 Kelly's does have Henry Davies , joiner at Clayford Crescent.
If you don't have Margaret Hilda's birth cert how certain are you of the May 1912 birthdate or that she was born in Liverpool? Only Margaret H Davies I can find in the Apr May June q 1912 on the full bmd on Ancestry is Dartford district 2a 1168 with mother's maiden name of Adams. I looked for a Davies/ Adams marriage on Free BMD and found a Henry Davies and Frances Adams marriage in Woolwich-Dec Q 1907 1d 1841.I think Woolwich and Dartford are fairly close. Whether or not someone would say they were from London if they were from these districts, well you'd need someone with a better knowledge of London than me to confirm this This is wild speculation, though.
There are 2 Margaret Davies and one Margaret A Davies in the same quarter in West Derby district
Did Margaret Hilda have siblings? It might be easier to find siblings birth certs to find out the parents names.
Hope I'm not sending you on a wild goose chase
Lily
