Nobody can do that. You know her year of birth from the entry:

Birth Date: abt 1868
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1925
Age at Death: 57
Registration district: South Manchester

Was this her married or maiden name? How did you come by her?

Jan

Jan this was her married name its just that I have her born 1865 and that is a bit out to the estimated 1868,,,,,,,thankyou

If you want to find her birth details you need to use her maiden name. Do you know what this was, and/or who she married?
Jan

Was she the wife of John B Coppin

Administration granted to him in 1925

69 Alexandra Road, Moss Side, Manchester. He was a confectioner
