After a bit more looking it looks like an unknown UK maker from around 1916-17, the reg' number maybe 656730 but can't put a name to it, dolls, dolls, dolls, worse than glass :czy: :czy: ;D ;D

The registration number puts the design at 1916-
1917 as well.

Only one doll crops up in google search under that number https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/3053579_seven-british-bisque-dolls

Marked 'Regd 656730 ENGLISH MAKE'

'At least' two companies used 'English Make' in their marks, but there may have been many more...
Doll Pottery Co British ceramic heads 1916-1920
S. Hancock & Sons dolls 1857-1930+
