Could be Evelyn Mary, is this her?

Name: Evelyn Mary Campbell
Birth Date: 28 Dec 1907
Death Registration Month/Year: Jun 1993
Age at death (estimated): 85
Registration district: Worthing
Inferred County: West Sussex
Register number: 4B93B
Entry Number: 127


That would possibly match this one.

Name: Evelyn Mary Clarke
Year of Registration: 1908
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: East Preston
County: Sussex
Volume: 2b
Page: 316


Get your fathers birth certificate to prove the mothers name, then if it matches the marriage, get that and it will give the age and fathers details. Always work backwards.
