To be without FS for US research will really hamstring you.

Paul - RE
"Ah I've found her name on the registration of births for April, May, June 1924
It has her mother's maiden name as Foster. It doesn't mention the father. It is page 79 of the register so I'm guessing it was around April. Still struggling to find her baptism details."
Looks like some mistakes in methodology there.
Firstly, one can't tell from the index whether the father's mentioned or not.
He could be named as Albert (or whatever) Atherton, or the Atherton could come from the widowed mum's married name.
It seems clear that it's the former case that holds here.
Secondly, I presume you determined 1924q2 births for Wigan RD took up pages 1-295, and said 79/295=30%, so 30% of quarter would mean a mid-April birth (allowing for a week's worth of March birth registrations.
Well, it's true the births are ordered by date of registration, since they're copies made for the GRO of the original registers.
But after each subdistrict registrar's copies are turned in to the district superintendent, neither he nor the GRO reorders the things.
So a birth on the 47th of 65 Hindley pages could appear as page 47 of 295 (if Hindley were the first subdistrict) or as page 277 of 295 (if Hindley were the eighth subdistrict).
Although you could apply your methodology to just the Hindley returns, and get 47/65 = 72% of way thru quarter, i.e., a late May d.o.b., we can be a bit more precise here since ook care to find the first entry on the first Hindley page, and the last entry on the last page, eo we find we're after entry 228 of 321 for the quarter, i.e., 228/321 = 70%.
Here are some FreeBMD hits with the local ref appended:

Consider the 3 local refs:
HNDL/217/490, HNDL/218/217, HNDL/218/310
The first is entry 490 from rego # 217 - there are 500 entries in B & D rego's, so there are 11 1924q2 entries in this rego, and they continue thru entry 310 of rego # 218.
Rego's were usually numbered sequentially within a series, such as Hindley births, Standish deaths, St John's Pemberton marrs, etc.
As a footnote, what I presume is your methodology would work if the Registration District had just one subdistrict - tn 1911this was the case for just one of Lancs 30 RDs, viz Barrow-in-Furness.
Pemberton is 3km W of Wigan, Hindley is 4km E of Wigan (although the subdistrict included most of Ince, so was closer to Wigan).

I don't see why you can't click on the above URLs and then click on the image link on your home computor, but anyways.
If you get the image at the library, there's a download button in the image header bar.
Clicking on this downloads the image to the Downloads folder in My Documents, and you can then email them from the library to yourself.
If you've got a lot of images to download, then the following is useful.
Click on Start button in bottom left, then on My Documents.
You can then highlight a group of 10 files, right-click, and send to a compressed (zipped) folder - it's much easier to mail 2 zipped folders to yourself than 20 images.
If your library has an Ancestry sub, then the following is useful.
My library has an Ancestry sub, but limits all computer usage to 2 one-hour sessions per day - I find it's not really long enough to fully comprehend the data I can get from images, which is why I always send myself copies.
Click on Start button in bottom left, then on All Programs, then Accessories, then double-click on Notepad.
This opens a notepad document - you can copy and paste stuff into it, and type notes - it's a very crude word-processor.
Once you've got something in it, pick File - Save As, and name the file Notes_2016-02-23.txt or something appropriate.
Thereafter, you can just pick File - Save to keep it updated. Email this file to yourself too.
