I think it means the mother's maiden name (surname before she married) was Emo. There are over 3,000 entries with this surname on ancestry civil reg. nell

Afraid you'd have to buy the certificate to find out for sure but Emo is clearly in the maiden name column, not Langrish so either this is not your ancestor or the mother's name was not as you thought. Could be she had married before in which case the certificate should say something like "formerly Langrish, late Emo"
