There were no Edith Smart births in London in 1906.
There are two Edith Smart births in London in 1907:

Name: SMART, Edith
Registration district:
[?] Lambeth
County: London
Year of registration: 1907
Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume no:

Name: SMART, Edith

[?] Barnet

Year of registration: 1907
Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3

But neither of these dates agrees with the 5th Dec recorded at her death.

There was one Edith Smart registered in Yorkshire and one in Northumberland, both in the first quarter so either could have been hers.

The 1911 census might give some useful info once her family has been located.
