Thank you how can I be certain that mother's maiden name on the birth certificate before I pay for it. Is there any other way of obtaining the info from the birth certificate.

Unfortunately not!
If you can find a parish register entry (assuming a C of E baptism) you can get it from there.

Birth certificates cost £9.25 from GRO.
Usually £10 (or so) from a District Register Office.

Would her maiden name appear on it. What's the website for it, I paid 25 for the marriage certificate that's why I was reluctant.....how would I find the parish records?

I think this is the only way to confirm the link...

I now have the marriage certificate for Leah Lucilla Nicholls, her father being William and mother, Hannah's maiden name being Taylor.
