Symons/Daniels/Mary Jane Hind or Hayend?

Civil registration started in 1853 in Victoria so the 1856 birth certificate for Elizabeth Daniels would have required the mothers maiden name - not her name at the time the child was born. Do you have a copy of the certificate (or image - can be downloaded for $17.50) - it should give a place of marriage for the parents and when they married - (although I have a few where this has been a work of fiction.)
There are 2 other children born to Robert and Mary Jane
One in 1854 has mother asMary Jane Hindand one in 1858 has Mary Jane Haind. Elizabeth's mother's name is given as Hayend.
It is most likely that these are simply 3 different spellings of the same name. How the informant spoke and how the registrar heard, had much to do with how a name is spelt on a register entry at that time.
I can see no death for Robert in 1856 - closest appears to be 1860 - parent names unknown. (last child born 1858)
