There are 2 Elsie M Harris born wolverhampton around that time. One has mother with maiden name Lewis and one with Bowen... Do either mean anything to you ?

Looks like the 1927 birth died young

Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deaths Mar 1929 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harris Elsie M 1 Wolverhampton 6b 1086

so that should leave the 1925 birth

Freebmd Entries after 1911 have the added benefit of showing the mother's maiden name.
So when looking for children born after that date simply enter the family surname and the mother's maiden name ( no christian names) select an appropraite time scale, click Births and Search.
