If you have Kate's birth cert then the details on the sisters' birth certs should match - parents' names, dad's occupation (maybe), address (maybe) ...

If the parents' names are different then you may have the wrong certs.

I think the first thing to do is as Jayne suggested - find Kate on the 81, 91 and 01 census returns. That would probably give you some info on her sisters. If you have the original certs that your gr grandmother defaced then they are probably the right ones - but if they're illegible you may need to order copies.
