the certificate is for;
Lilian Mary HOUGHTON born 29 January 1896
Father George Houghton
Mother Mary Annie Houghton nee Cliston

There is one person called Janyce who has a Lilian Houghton born 1896 in her tree.

You could message her to see if it the same person.

Cliston is clearly a mistranscription of Clifton - however, there is NO Houghton/Clifton marriage

In any case, the correct MMN is Longbotham

ADDENDUM

Explanation of the confusion - Mary's mother's maiden name was Clifton
This is something which occurred quite regularly, when people didn't understand what info they were being asked to provide
