Finally found the family in the 1911 census, but Kate is not living with her parents (still cannot find her) and Amos FERRIS is living with them.   Looks as though they were living in Harpsden for a while and then Wokingham, given the pob for the 3 additional children.

Will look for Kate again in 1911 !!

Here is the 1891 you asked for
But it wont tell you Kate's dad. She appears to have been illegitimate. As I said, Emma was single.

Unlikely you will ever find her fahter, unless he is named on either the birth cert (babyboy has given you the ref) or a christening record. More likely though it is a secret that Emma took to her grave, or only shared by word of mouth.
