You need to buy a few certs there to confirm info that you are not sure of.

You can look up the cert refs on freebmd for most of the dates you mention. Then buy them for £7 each at GRO online.

Couple of possibilities:

Births Mar 1921 (98%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

May Lilian V Greenwood Dartford 2a 1096

Could her parents have been May and Chapman...first one 1915 would fit.
