From Jane O'Sullivan :
Amelia's father lived with his 3 small daughters next door to my g g grandfather and his family. When my g grandfather (William Eves) married, Charles died, leaving the children orphaned. Amelia was adopted by William & Susanna, although I'm not sure that it was ever made official. She lived with the family until she married Jim Devonald - in the family she was know as Aunty Min. My mother knew her very well. I have a lot of stories and photos of her that I could scan in and send you if you would like them. I had a look at your tree on Ancestry - I can't work out how I can add Amelia's birth family to my tree - I've put my g grandparents as her parents. The following is from my tree:
In the 1881 census, Amelia is shown as living with her father Charles (a widower) and her elder sisters Elizabeth & Jemima. They are living at 126 Upper Mann Street, 32 Court, House 1. Next door to them in 128 Upper Mann Street, was living Richard Eves and his family. Their son William was 17 at the time. In 1991 she has been adopted by William & Susanna Eves. Her sister Elizabeth is living in the Seaman's Orphans institution in the Ecclesiastical Parish of John the Baptist. In the 1901 census, she is working with her sister Jemima as a servant at 3 Sandon Street, Liverpool. In 1901 Elizabeth appears as a stepdaughter to the Whittle family of 29 Orient Street, Everton.
Amelia was later referred to by Susannah & William Eve's children as Auntie Min. She married Jim Devenald and lived in Royston Street. At the end of her life, she was a widow in a poor house, and had become fond of drink. It was apparently very sad.
