Can I board a UK train I am booked on half way with a mobile, advanced ticket?

Afternoon all,

I have a ticket from Southampton to Manchester in the next month or so. Its a non-refundable Single Advance ticket but due to circumstances out of my control, I won't be in Southhampton on the date - but rather Birmingham.

Considering that Birmingham is on the train route anyway, can I join at Birmingham and resume my travel to Manchester?

I have seen similiarsimilar questions to this posted, but most of the advice is upon the assumption that a ticket inspector will mark your ticket to prove you have been on the train from the start of its journey. Considering that I will have an E-ticket on my phone, would an inspector know?

Any advice welcome, as the original price of the ticket is pretty high and I'd rather not waste it.
