Two registrations for grandmother Mavis R Munday?

Apr-May-Jun 1927 Wandsworth and
Oct-Nov-Dec 1928 Wandsworth...likely after the marriage of parents? New registration? Re-read, you mention her birth name was then corrected in Dec 1928.

One possible other birth in 1929 St Pancras ? Not sure if connected. Other births for Munday/Reid. Hard to make out if connected.

Just to throw a spanner in the works with this search :( spookily I had a Great Aunt also called "Daisy" Reid though not the same one!  She was called Daisy but her real first name was Margaret so I'm not sure if that is a usual change like Nancy for Agnes, Jessie for Janet etc

Hello,
     In Scotland, Daisy is a Pet/Short form of Margaret. Comes from the flowers, Marguerites more commonly called daisies.
               Regards,     Dod.
