i have a baptisim of my 2nd gr grandad and it says mother elizabeth lamb late thompson .. is lamb her maiden name and thompson her previous marrage name or visa versa ? was her parents a thompson or a lamb ?

I see what you mean! Maybe you should give all details on here, so folks can have a proper look.
Have you checked for possible marriages for her in the area, using the surnames both ways?

yes thanks and i have her death certificate 13 sep 1849 chester le street cholera informant her mark X jane thompson [ dont know who she was ]

on the 1841 census ann lamb 93 1748 i have ordererd her death cert to see if it say who her husband was and should be hear this week ... im not sure if ann lamb was elizabeths mother or her mother inlaw

If she married Morrison using the surname Thompson, then her maiden name was Lamb

Otherwise, she'd have married as LAMB

Lamb late Thompson means Lamb now but used to be Thompson.

Here's an example from my wife's tree (referring to Entry 949 of):
