I think it depends on the individual church. I have seen some records that say, for instance "Sep 14, Mary the daughter of John Smith and Ann (formerly Jones), born Sept 12" and I've seen others that just say something like "Sep 14, Mary Smith to John Smith (bricklayer) and Ann of Manchester".

Baptismal records don't give maiden names.

If you have bought the birth cert, phone Southport and tell them you can't read it and ask them to tell you what it says.
Birth cert of a sibling would give it.
