This indicates an illegitimate birth, but in order to help further we need some names, dates and places please.

Let us know the details on the birth certificate and we might be able to help.

I would suggest that you look through the Court Records to see if any claim for maintenance was made against the person most likely to be the Father.

My Great Grandmother was illegitimate and I have never found out who her Father was, only possibility now is via a DNA match.

This might be 1901, age is off, though.
Alice Disley   42    widowed  Pendleton
Amelia Disley   16  Burnley
Alice Disley   14   Wigan
James Disley   6   Burnley
George Disley   3    Burnley
 these 3 are boarders
Harry Unsworth   68 
Alexander Haworth   46
Patrick Rogan   23

Amelia also looks to have no Father recorded at birth, not yet found the others, or 1891.
