if you go to www.gro.gov.uk you can order a certificate using the information found on the page you looked at (the record)

You can send off for the birth cert from the GRO site. Will cost £7.

On records it only gives the mothers maiden name from 1911 but it would give her maiden name on the birth cert

If it's your grandfather you'd need his birth cert anyway - to give you the correct parents' names etc.

They only started adding mother's maiden name in 1911. Before that it's almost guesswork - unless the name is rare or it's a smallish area - but even then you can't be 100% sure.
