Notes for Nina Vivian Akroyd
This is almost certainly the birth record for the female later known as Nina V Akroyd when she married John D M Arnold.  I have ordered her birth certificate from GRO to see who were her parents.  The birth index is:

First name(s)         Vina V        <——  This is misread from ‘Nina Vivian’
Last name             Akroyd
Birth quarter         3
Birth year            1941
Mother's maiden name  Stadd         <—-  I am expecting this to be ’Studd’ - which it was.
District              Eton
County                Buckinghamshire
Country               England
Volume                3A
Page                  2455
Record set            England & Wales Births 1837-2006

I may end up having to get a copy of the birth certificate from the District office if the one from the GRO still shows oddities.

Answer: The Birth certificate, delivered on 23rd April 2021, was misread by the GRO.  Her registered name was indeed Nina Vivian but the initial ’N’ had a faint upward stroke on its left so it was mistaken for a ‘V’.  I can put a ‘postem’ on Freebmd, but cannot do any such thing on FreeBMD as the index sheet was correctly transcribed into their records.  The error was by the person at the GRO who did the transcribing from the certificate they received to the indexes.  The GRO also mistranscribed the Studd maiden name of the mother.  I can report this to the GRO.

The evidence that this is the record for the daughter of Lavender Vivian Alnod Akroyd whose maiden surname was Studd:

1. The above index entry is so close to the person named in her marriage and in her mother’s will,
2. At marriage she was named as Nina V Akrayd, very close to Akroyd,
3. On her mother’s will she was named as Nina V Akroyd,
4. On both the birth indices for her children, her maiden name is given as Akroyd,
5. On her mother’s will, her children were named as
Annabel Louise Beach and Fiona Deidre Cline,
      where the forenames correspond to the children she and David John had
      plus the surnames from their subsequent documented marriages,
      BUT Fiona’s married name was incorrect on her grandmother’s will - it was Clive.

On the basis of this I am entering all of h, her husband and their children with her as the daughter of Lavender Akroyd.
