Possibly Williams birth? Fits in with him being 7 in 1891...

if you get the cert. you will get Fannys maiden name.

Births Sep 1883 (>99%)

KNOWLES William Rotherham 9c 579

EDIT...IGNORE this..just realised the 1891 entry with William age 7 dosn`t look like the correct family.....
It has john born Rotherham....1881 entry which is correct as James Broadhead is lodger has John born Oakbrook in Derby.
