Oh I see so if within 100 years you can just view online as i put the mother’s surname in and it’s brought up a list of girls names born in the area in the time frame but I don’t know if they belong to who I am looking for as doesn’t show me if linked to the birth mothers name

If the father was present when her birth was registered her name could be registered under his surname. If he wasn't it would be under the mother's surname as he had to be there to approve the use of his name. Hope this helps!
