Birth of Gladys Grocock in FreeBMD in October-December 1905 in Camberwell (1d 821). Her father was living at 47 Lyndhurst Road, Dulwich in a house owned by Mary Jane Grocock (his mother?) who lived at the same address from the Electoral Roll.
I cannot find either her or her sister in the 1911 census - they do not appear to be living with their parents nor with their uncle Horace Grocock.
Her father was admitted to Croydon Asylum on 14 March 1912 and died on 18 May 1915 at the Croydon Mental Hospital, Chelsham, Godstone, Surrey.
Marriage of Gladys Grocock and Ernest A Musto in FreeBMD in July-September 1938 in Wandsworth (1d 1694).

Neil Musto has an entry in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Gladys Grocock born on 14 September 1905 in London, her marriage to Ernest Arthur Musto, and her death on 13 October 1994 in Essex. In an email he added that he belives that Harold died in 1914/15 and Annie in 1931, and both children were brought up by one of Harold's brothers, viz Horace. (I cannot find a Lyndhurst Road in Camberwell - from the 1901 census description it was south of Peckham Road (A202) and north of the railway line -there are today Lyndhurst Way and Lyndhurst Grove in this area which is part of Peckham.) Horace lived with Gladys and husband Ernest Musto in Addiscombe in his later years and Gladys called him "father". Gladys died on 13 October 1994 at King George Hospital, Newbury Park, Ilford aged 89. There are seven other entries.
Gladys Grocock was my half third cousin.
