There is a Margaret McNamara birth registered in West Derby Oct-Dec 1912 but the mother's maiden name is Moran. I thought there was a McNamara / Moran marriage in 1911 but checking it on Lancashire BMD, they didn't marry each other. There was a James McNamara / Frances S Moran marriage in 1920 and then there is a McNamara / Moran birth every year or two after that, so it seems unlikely that 1912 Margaret belonged to that couple. Although of course there was the First World War in between, which could explain it. Or maybe there was some mistake and the Margaret listed on the index is the right one but MMN is wrong.
(Edit - or possibly Moran was Zipporah's father's surname?)
