In 1861 she is aged 54, born Suffolk, Woodbridge, and an unmarried School Mistress living at 23 Circus Street, Greenwich. She has a 74 year old female boarder living there and 7 young ladies aged between 3 and 20, all scholars and presumably her students. There is also a servant girl aged 20 and living there too.

She died in 1863 leaving an estate valued at less than GBP200. She was "formerly of Circus Street and late of 11 Burnley St Greenwich" who died a Spinster 11 July 1863. The Executrix of her estate was one Sarah Ann Gouldthorp of Greenwich, her niece married to William Gouldthorp, who had a daughter named after Amelia.

On her death certificate she is incorrectly named as Agnes Amelia, age 69 years but this is corrected in the margin to Amelia Agnes, aged 58 years. Although named as such she is simply named as Amelia on her baptism record.
