This is the listing for Margery Alice's divorce record from National Archives:

Reference:J 77/1491/6077
Description: Divorce Court File: 6077.
Appellant: Harry Rowlands.
Respondent: Alice Marjorie Rowlands.
Co-respondent: Jack Edwards, struck through and Charles Henry Taylor.
Type: Husband's petition for divorce [hd].

Date: 1919
Held by: The National Archives, Kew
Legal status: Public Record
Language: English

So it looks as though one of the two men mentioned may be the father of Margaret? If Margery was still married to Harry when Margaret was born then it's likely that Harry was named as father on birth certificate even if he wasn't. It may be worth ordering a copy of the divorce file to see what it says. I'm afraid those two names are too common to try and track without further info.
