Thank you both, yes i feel maybe asking for it to be posted for now would be too much maybe. Just seems incredibly frustrating as I feel like I have as much right to see it in person as she has!
We discovered we had black ancestry (the line relating to the family bible) but my nanna's cousin seemed just as interested in it as the rest of us so I'm sure if I was able to find more info she would be excited about it too!

Ahh thank you for your replies, it's all a bit confusing, so many names hard to put a finger on which ones are relevant.

Mother’s maiden name is Stewart:

DORAN, MARY  ANN mmn STEWART
GRO Reference: 1878  S Quarter in LIVERPOOL  Volume 08B  Page 155

I assume this is the cert you have.

Jamjar

Yes that's the one I have

I recently ordered the birth certificate of my 2nd great-grandmother, Mary Ann Doran which confirms her birth date of 27th Aug 1878 (which I know to be true as it is also on the 1939 census). The birth certificate also names Mary Ann's father to be John Doran (also detailed as John on Mary Ann's marriage certificate in 1897).
I knew Mary Ann's mother was called Margaret as it is in the 1881 census.
In the birth certificate, the father's occupation is a labourer, however on Mary Ann's marriage certificate he is named as a shipwright.
Also In the birth certificate I ordered, the mother is named as Margaret Doran, previously Stewart. However, I am struggling to find any records relating a Margaret Stewart to a John Doran. I am however seeing records for a Margaret Kapene/Henry?
I was wondering about the accuracy of this birth certificate?
