Alma Irene Bodycoat 1910

I am just wondering if anybody can look up a public tree on Ancestry as I am not a member. I understand if it can't be done.
Alma is my son-in-laws grandmother and having trouble finding her birth. She was born 1910 Victoria Australia. The only one I found was born 1920 and thought that was the one but having checked their 50th Anniversary in 1984 her husband Frederick Ellis Kilby was 76 (born 1908) and she was 74 which makes her just two years younger which would be 1910. I found a public tree for her husband with her name - the tree was Smout/Caspar
This is the one thing I cannot find, perhaps you could look up census or birthdate through another site. Maybe you could find the Census for 1910 or birth in places I cannot go.
Much appreciated if you can help

Thank you so much for that information but it gives me another problem. Is it possible to please look up the birth and death for me of Frederick Ellis Kilby. He was born 1908 Werribee Victoria and I have him dying in 1988 - Aged (80) That would probably also be on the tree.
Really appreciated what you have found and Brett is really grateful

Thank you that is so helpful, my son--in-law mentioned a Toohey that he knew but didn't know if he was a relation or not. Now I can give him that name and perhaps find out a few more things about his marriage and family.
Kind regards Julia
