death is right on replys  died 1936 whipps cross hospital,

amelia harris parents were william thomas harris and Eliza Godfrey

So there are some possible naming patterns of Joseph & Amelia's children

Sarah Amelia after her
Joseph Arthur after him

Thomas Philip after Amelia's father William Thomas
Lily Eliza after Amelia's mother Eliza

William Henry after his father and or father in law William

It's possible that Joseph's mother may have been named Sarah, Lily or Jane

This looks to be Amelia Harris with her parents William Thomas & Eliza Louisa

1881 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27C-B75J
1891 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QLWF-56Z

her siblings named
Alice,
Elizabeth,
Louisa Maud,
George Edward,
Thos Wm,
Florence,
Henry

Joseph & Amelia named children
George Edward,
William Harry,
Thomas Philip

so again possible naming patterns
