Using only the surnames, and female, GRO Index has no offers for births registered in 1903 +/- 1 year.

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!!  :)

There's a Muriel Powell:
Registration Date   1903
Quarter of the Year: Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration Place: Dorchester, Dorset, England
Volume: 5a Page: 332

Dorchester is only about 7 miles away from Weymouth, if that helps.

That Muriel Powell 1903 has mother's maiden name as Duckett
