On 25 August 1897 Amelia Waller was born in Birkenhead. She was baptised at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Price Street on 13 October, parents James and Mary Waller of 173 Wood Street. The same year but on 25 May, his older brother John James and his wife Mary Jane had a daughter Amelia.

In Q3 1897 the death of her mother Mary Waller, aged 30, was registered in Birkenhead. It sounds like she may well have died giving birth to Amelia.

Also in the 1901 Census, a Mary Brereton aged 61, a widow and, I believe, the stepmother of the recently deceased Mary, was living in Birkenhead with her stepson Robert Hy (Henry) Brereton aged 31 (who Christopher G.’s wife Margaret would later marry) and her niece Amelia Waller aged 4. This is quite confusing! If this was Mary Brereton’s stepmother, surely Amelia was her step-grand-daughter?

In the 1911 Census James Waller, a Dock Labourer aged 47 (he was 46) and born in Birkenhead is a boarder at 17 Coolfin Road, Victoria Docks East, Canning Town. Present are Sarah Fuller aged 47, the head of the household and a widow, and Annie Waller aged 19 and born in Birkenhead.

Again in the 1911 Census, there is an Amelia Waller aged 14 and born in “Berbiehead” Cheshire (!). She is a Domestic Servant, living at a house in Stoke Newington in London owned by an Isabella Louis (Louise?) Middle, who is a Boarding House Keeper.

On 14 Apr 1919 Amelia Waller (who would have been 21) married Robert Rowland (1886-1943), 33, at Birkenhead St. Peter. Her father’s name James Waller, his father was William Rowland.

Robert Rowland’s sister Margaret Elizabeth married Christopher G. Waller (1867-1945).

In Q4 1943 the death of Robert Rowland was registered in Birkenhead, age recorded as 58.

In Q3 1949 the marriage of Amelia Rowland to Thomas Morrow was registered in Birkenhead.

In Q4 1991 the death of Amelia Morrow, date of birth 25 August 1897, was registered in Birkenhead.
