Seems to be an only child
but can not see a DYKES/HOWE marriage so it is possible her mother had been married before.

Another possibility:


Births Dec 1920
Dykes Gladys M Arnott Malton 9d 747

Marriages Dec 1942
Dykes Gladys M Wing Ryedale 9d 780

This one looks to have died in 1978:

Registration District Ryedale
Date of Birth 24 October 1920
Volume Number 2

But there were 2 sons born to this marriage.

Do you have your adoption file? Her age might be listed, and also your father. It does appear that Gladys wasn't married at the the time though so he probably won't be listed on your birth cert.
