Using only the surnames, and female, GRO Index has no offers for births registered in 1903 +/- 1 year.
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

Interesting that trees on Anc have baptisms for her three older brothers but not for Marjory

Thankyou all, I can only imagine somehow she never got registered or it was somehow lost, it may turn up yet !

You're not alone, neilpage, I have a similar case where I have a baptism showing a date of birth, but cannot find a registration for her, but all siblings born after 1837 have been registered.

One of these days!!  :)
