If the birth is after 1912 then the mother's maiden name will be on Freebmd.
You might be able to get away without having to buy the actual certificate.

Sherwood (Kent); Jesson (London); Worboys (Herts)

You need to buy it from the GRO

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

You cannot view birth, death or marriage certs online, unfortunately, although you can order them. Do NOT pay more than £9.25 I think it is by using another website to do it. Use the GRO direct, or your local register office may be able to help.

Researching:
Windsor, Tudor, Cholmondely, Hanover, Smith.

You can buy the birth certificate - that's the only way to see what is written on it.
