Just a thought but I wonder whether Mabel later married. The following is the only marriage I could find in Nottingham

Marriages Dec 1911 (>99%)

NICHOLLS Mabel Basford 7b 329
Swann Thomas Basford 7b 329

Likewise this is the only birth for a Mabel Nicholls in Nottinghamshire between 1880 and 1894
