Odd though her father is supposed to be James a chainmaker

I didn't see an Amelia with father James..
I'll add this lot, never know maybe related..

thanks Fs..wonder
if that marriage cert was wrong?

or how many Amelias born around that time?

have we her on a census at all that might help might be parents with her or near her

Yes, there was an Amelia on the 71 she was visiting
I'll get it..

I think this looks very interesting
I am sure father is a James a chainmaker
so dont think it is that Thomas
but the marriage info could be wrong some often were

West Midlands Birth 1861.
PORTMAN Amelia, Rowley Regis, Sandwell Register Office, RR/31/283.

Which looks like this one.

Could this be,

PORTMAN James, LAVENDAR Mary A, Dudley, St Edmund, Dudley Register Office, 201/001/234.

1881.

John H. HAYWOOD. M Male 22 Wellow, Nottingham, Colliery Stoker.
Mary A. HAYWOOD. M Female 24 Barnsley, York,
John COOKSEY. M Male 27 Dudley, Stafford, Coal Miner.
Amelia COOKSEY. M Female 20 Dudley, Stafford,
Edward COOKSEY. Male 1 y Dudley, Stafford,
Mary A. COOKSEY. Female 2 m Roystone, York,

And Hander could be Lavender mistranscribed...
