You need to work backwards with your mums marriage which will show her father's name and her age.Maybe somewhere she married more than once as i cant find a birth for her dob other than the one posted already.
your own birth cert will give mmn
Need some feedback here to proceed

Her parents appear to have been Ernest Olaf Frederick George Keeler and Phoebe Gamble who married in 1904, Faversham.
Ernest had previously been married to Edith Tyler.
