Freebmd has 20 Hilda's registered in Nottingham for Jun-Aug quarter 1909 - and 20 for the following quarter when the birth could have been registered, No Nicholls, which presumably is her adopted name. Did she have a middle name?

Two possibles, given her mother's name:

1909 Jun- Aug
Harvey Hilda Mabel Nottingham 7b 435

1909 Sep-Dec
Padgett Hilda Mabel Nottingham 7b 388

You could try ordering the certs from the GRO using mother's first name as a checking point. They won't send the cert if the checking point is wrong, but you will be charged £4 instead of £7
