IC 2111 is indeed a bright nebula, probably an HII region or a clump of stars, in NGC 1722 in the LMC. As with several other such nebulae, this was found by Williamina Fleming on an objective prism plate taken at Arequipa. She did not, however, make the association with John Herschel's "knot of clustering stars."

This particular object is interesting as it has three bright knots. I've given positions for each knot in the table, as well as a mean for all three. If the original plate still exists, it would be interesting to see if it resolved the knots. In that case, we might be able to assign the IC number to one or another of the knots.
