Why would mothers maiden name not be listed? How would I get a copy of this?

Births are normally indexed under the father's surname, with mother's maiden name also on the Birth Record/Certificate.
When there is an illegitimate birth the birth is indexed under the mother's name, and the mother's maiden name is left blank. Or indicated by a dash.

I managed to locate the birth record and got a digital copy.

Ernest Stanley Rooke born 13th December 1920
Mother listed as Ruth Rooke (Domestic) from Hemswell Lincolnshire.

Looking in 1921 Census I have located Ruth Rooke as a Servant without her child she is only 18 so was 17 when she had Ernest.
I have learnt from Ernest's Son that his father moved to Northern Ireland with a friend after the 2nd World War as he believed he was an Orphan and had no one to go home to. I suspect. as his mother was young, unmarried and in service she gave Ernest up and he ended up in care. Ernest believed he was from Barnsley in Yorkshire so it is possible he ended up in a carehome/orphanage there.

I have learnt from Ernest's Son that his father moved to Northern Ireland with a friend after the 2nd World War

But he married in 1942.  So where (and when) did Maria and he meet?

It looks like Ruth ROOKE married Cyril  W OGLESBY in 1923 registered at Gainsborough. They are in Doncaster, West Riding in 1939.

Modified to add:
I can't see the full article - there is an obituary for Cyril Wray OGLESBY in 1978, mentions he was from Hemsworth, as was his wife.
