Notes for Maggie Laura Townsend
Her birth:

Surname   First name(s)   Mother   District  Vol  Page
Births Jun 1913   (>99%)
Townsend Maggie L Livermore Cambridge 3b  826
______________

I am not sure any of these Hancock-Townsend births might be hers, because of the different towns:

Surname   First name(s)   Mother   District  Vol  Page
Births Jun 1939   (>99%)
Hancock Heather C A Townsend Birmingham 6d  400
Births Mar 1955   (>99%)
HANCOCK Kathleen E TOWNSEND Coventry 9c 1011
Births Sep 1957   (>99%)
HANCOCK Steve TOWNSEND Bristol 7b 26

The last is biologically a bit late, Maggie would have been 44.

There are other Hancock-Townsend marriages, any of which could have produced the above children:

Surname   First name(s)   Spouse   District  Vol  Page
Marriages Sep 1946   (>99%)
Hancock George A Townsend Coventry 9c 1993
