This looks like the family in 1911. Named as Howarth and living with Emma's mother. Married 3 years 2 children born and 2 living so Sarah Ellen is their daughter. You still need to confirm this with John Robert's birth certificate.

Howarth Emma Bury 8c 480

Thank you so much. The family on the 1901 census was the one I thought the most likely but as there were a few other Emma Howarth's in the same area born around the same date i wasn't 100 per cent sure.
I see there is a grandaughter called Sarah Ellen and a son called John. My grandfather was born in October 1908. It is very strange that they are listed as Howarth and Fred is their son and Emma their daughter in law.
Thanks again for taking the time to do this for me.

I think that is because the original image is such a mess. It looks as though the 'in law' part and the 'grand' part for the grandchildren has been added afterwards so it could just have been put on the wrong line. But there are a few crossings out and alterations. It looks as though Fred's age was originally entered as 25 and then changed to 29.
I'm quite sure thought that this is the couple who married in 1908 as Fred Pemberton and Emma Haworth.

This is maybe Sarah Ellen's birth registration. It could be that the P stands for Pemberton.
