Have you looked for a corresponding marriage of the parents in FreeBMD Home Page It could start with an M with the first stroke missing if you look at the other M's on the page.
That's what I do if I'm stuck on maiden names.
Look for the husband's marriage and then where it says place registered there's a number next to it - click on that and it shows who else were married and hopefully you can pair them up. It should give you a version of the mother's maiden name.

Mary's suggestion of Manser looks like a good possibility. My first thought was Hansen, but after comparing against the other words, I agree the first letter is probably an M.
What makes it look like an M to me is that I thought the "dot" to the left of the first letter was part of it, but with the line connecting the "dot" to the rest of the letter too feint to see properly on the scan. But if the "dot" is not part of the letter, then it does look more like an H.
There is a tree on Ancestry which has it as Manser. She remarried in 1866 to Robert Moseley.
It all depends as to when the husband died as in the Munday family there are childern born in the following years
Elisabeth in 1847 ap
Amy who is the Emma on this birth cert in 1849 ap
Thomas in 1855
So if she was widowed before 1866 and took her maiden name in that 2nd ? marriage its possible.
However Amy married as a Mundayto her 1st husband Alfred Smith.
