Could she have been born in 1910? This is the only one coming up around that time:-

Name: Margaret A Oakland
Year of Registration: 1910
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Nottingham
County: Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7b
Page: 408

She is on the 1911 census aged 6 months. If you buy credits for the 1911 census and buy the image it will give details of her father.

If you know her father's name he should be on the Commonwealth War Graves site which may give his age and then you can look for him in previous census years.

There might be a record of her father in a trade directory for Nottingham from around that time. I would think the local library or record office might have a record.
