This would be her likely marriage:
Marriages March quarter 1885
Arthur Frost Eden              S. Stoneham
 James Henry Fillmore    S. Stoneham   
 Amelia Parker     S. Stoneham   

Lydia Haynes is the other lady

Added:
no, looks like her Mother married Mr Fillmore, who had deserted her by 1891 census.

[Dundee]

That is the remarriage of the mother Amelia.

I have just seen this one as a possible for Amelia jnr.

Had not looked as far as Thanet, working my way outwards, slowly.

[Dundee]

A transcription of the EDWARDS/PARKER marriage names her father as Joseph, and in 1911 she has Sholing as a birthplace.  I would say she is a good match.

Death?
Amelia Edwards age 85 in September quarter 1952 in East Ham  Essex

This is tremendously exciting. 

1) The birth date, height, and eye colour and hair colour for both Harrys are identical.  The hair fair vs brown and the discrepancy of one year for the birth are not a problem.
2) Harry MOUNT's firstborn was Amelia, so the family name is a strong clue.
3) Harry PARKER's sister Amelia married EDWARDS - this may well fit in with family legend ("surname could be Roberts, but could be Richards or something like that")
4) A photograph of parents and children thought to be Amelia's children was taken by a photographer with studios in Walthamstow and Upton Park - this fits with Amelia living in West Ham.

All I need to do now is finish searching to prove that Harry PARKER cannot be found on the 1911 census and that there are no matching deaths for him.


chempat - there is a MOUNT presence in and around Thanet which I searched some years ago and could not find a match for Harry.

Thank you again.  The brick wall is cracking and may soon crumble.

INFORMATION ADDED TO OTHER THREAD https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=701236 WHICH I HAVE ASKED TO BE LOCKED:

Joseph Parker married Amelia Judd 1856 Southampton
1871 to follow have a whole list of siblings, assuming I am correct of course
1872 Birth of Harry 1872 South Stoneham
1878 Death of a Joseph Parker South Stoneham aged 44
So it is possible Amelia married or lived with a Mr Mount?
Just thinking  or am I way off track?

Amelia did remarry but it was to James Henry FILLMORE in 1885.

if I am correct, Amelia Fillmore has been deserted by husband but there is 2 children in the household by the name of Parker
George Parker 22
Henry Parker 18 is this HARRY?
Perhaps we out to try to find Amelia on 1901, under what name ??, see below

I'm intrigued as this is where I was brought up.

My Gt gt grandmother was a Parker, although it is a common name in the area (have you had your DNA tested?).

Amelia Fillmore is still alive in 1911.

Joseph died 22 September 1878 according to a newspaper death announcement.
