A changed surname?

[rubymelia]

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?

Mother’s maiden name is Stewart:

DORAN, MARY  ANN mmn STEWART

I assume this is the cert you have.

Who did Mary Ann marry.  Could you please give census reference and details for her after her marriage.  Do you have her in 1891

[Jamjar]

I’ve been looking at the 1871 census using Margaret, her birth year +-2 and place of birth. Still thinking she may have been previously married.

The Stewart family with a son Joseph isn’t her, as they are on the 1881.

LancashireBMD index normally gives alternative surnames with a previous marriage for a female but there is nothing showing on this one.
