Mother's maiden name.

lol, thanks, (bangs head on the wall for not guessing)

I think this info is as close as you will get to it being William son of Alfred.

They also agree that Alfred Frederick is their son, but  have Alfred's wife's name as Fanny Daisey.  There is no evidence for this actually being her name.

makes sense of 1911, where I think Alfred and Fanny's daughter Fanny D is listed as Daisy

Yes, she is  Fanny Daisy on her birth registration, and on her death registration (married name Ashmore). I was struggling to remember why I put 'Fanny Davis' in my earlier post, but the baptism register (Aston-juxta-Birmingham) shows her quite clearly as 'Fanny Davis' Shuter. 
(I don't think it is a sound reason for supposing that her mother's maiden name was Daisey however. It would be quite easy for those tree owners to see what it really was.)
