      The census looks like Morris to me, and as the age is entered in the male column Morris is more likely than Maviss. The entry on the GRO birth index is clearly Maviss but of course this is a handwritten index entry written years ago by someone who perhaps had problems reading the handwritten name in the original register entry. I'd expect the certificate, if you order one, to be in the name of Morris(s). There might be a problem ordering from GRO as they reject orders when details don't match the register; perhaps best to go through the local register office.
