Looking for records of a girl after 1921, Southampton

[nicdigby]

Hi all,
I'm stuck on a girl who disappears after the 1921 census, complicated by a common surname and others with the same first name. eg there is another Margaret Taylor born in the same year in Soton who has a sister called Rosina - this is a different person.

WHAT I KNOW & ALREADY HAVE THE RECORDS FOR:

Margaret Alice TAYLOR. b. Q4 1910, Southampton, Hampshire.
Father: William Henry TAYLOR 1883-1914. I don't need to know any more details for this.
Mother: May CALLOWAY 1888-1955. After death of first husband, she remarried, in 1915, to Joseph MACEY.

1921 census for individual:
Address: 34 James St, Soton
Alice Taylor, age 10yrs 8m, full time school (ie, this indicates she was b. October 1910)
Others:
Her stepfather, Joseph Macey, 49yrs, Pork Butcher, for T.J.Ponsford, 84 St Mary's St, Soton
Her mother, May Macey, 34yrs
Her stepbrother Joseph, 22yrs, Seaman
All the above b. Soton.
+ a boarder, John Holloway, 56yrs

1939 Register: I have found the record for the mother, May, with her second husband Joseph MACEY in Soton. Margaret would have been 29. She is not there.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW:
Marriage record for Margaret Alice TAYLOR that is definitely for her (there are multiples on FreeBMD)
1939 Register for the same person.
Death record for the same person.

Any ideas, sleuthing and sightings v. welcome!

Send for her birth record.
Get all the marriage possibilities from FreeBMD.
Look them up on the 1939 register and see if one of them matches the birth record.

I don't remember off hand if the index information for British death records includes the age at death. If so, do something similar for all the marriage matches - see if you can find a death record of a woman whose age matches hers.

edit: or she died.

Thank you. Was hoping to avoid giving more money to GRO 
But having followed your advice, I have found her (see below).
Many thanks
