Hello Jan, Whitley was never a Civil Parish - while Ecclesiastically it was only created in 1965 by the division into 2 parishes of the former Willenhall with Whitley - itself only created in 1958 out of the [Ecc] Parish of Coventry Holy Trinity, but (apparently) following the boundaries of the Civil Township of Willenhall within [Civil] Coventry Holy Trinity. It really *WOULD* have been a Good Idea had our ancestors only thought to use different words for the [nominally-]smallest Administrative Units of the Civil and the State Religion Organisations... There would seem to be quite a high possibility that her parents were non-conformists, which would explain the absence of her baptism from CofE registers.
