Michelle, two sites you need to use:

FreeBMD - http://www.freebmd.org.uk to search for records

then

GRO - http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ to order the certificates.

Is this her brother's birth?

Births Jun 1913
Ganderton Joseph Lion Rotherham 9c 1551

If so, that tells us the mother's maiden name was Lion. Not seeing a marriage for those two surnames (could be mother had been married before).

Hi Michelle, you should really order Edith's birth certificate to get her parents names:

Births Jun 1911
Ganderton Edith Rotherham 9c 765

From Freebmd...

Births Jun 1911
Ganderton Edith Rotherham 9c 765

This cert will give parents names
