Wondered if Amy and Annie knew each other.  I think Annie Kitchen was born Nottingham and Amy was Bristol so maybe not.  These parents seem to fit Annie in 1891

Henry Kitchen 54   Head
Mary Kitchen 44   Wife
Mary Kitchen 6   Daughter
William Kitchen3   Son
Annie Kitchen   1   Daughter
Richard Kitchen 42   Lodger

Ooops - I just remembered that Amy sang at Annie's wedding!   Brain freeze here - must be all the snow we are having!   :-[

Maybe they did keep in touch.   Good thinking.

…Amy had an affair with a married man and had 2 children (1907 and 1908).  She gave the children up to the Bristol Workhouse .  The married man left his wife and emigrated to the USA - I have had contact with one of his grandsons and he and Amy did not emigrate, or stay, together.

I believe Amy left England around 1911.  I don't have an occupation for her though because she was too young on the 1901 census to have one; and there is no occupation given in the Workhouse records.

Thank you all so much.

Thank you for the additional facts.  :)  May I ask, please, when the father of her children left England and in which part of the USA he lived after his arrival.  I haven’t run across her passing in the states (thank you for the exact dob) but perhaps there is a slim chance that she followed him, only to possibly settle in Canada.  (I’m not looking for any other facts about him, keeping in mind his family’s privacy.)

Added: did any of Amy’s family members leave England?

Is there any chance that Amy remained in England?  Perhaps she married and made up her father’s name on her marriage document?   :-\  Just clutching at straws.

Thanks again everyone.  I have found the following on Ancestry and would be keen to know your thoughts on these as I can't read/understand very well. 

The father of Amy's children was Edwin Arthur Egerton.

* The US 1930 census for Edwin shows him living Weymouth, Mass. and says that he arrived in the US in 1908 (I can't find anything to support this).  I have a border crossing record dated 20.1.1912 from Canada to the US (he gives his last address as Toronto).

* A NY Passenger arrival record from 7.4.1913.
Wright (West Ham, Stratford, Cripplegate)
Widenstrom (Chicago and Minnesota)
Swain (Cripplegate, St Lukes)
Wolfe (St Giles in the Fields)
Willis (Gt. Leighs; Brentford)
Bryant (Bristol, Glos)
Searle (Kent/Surrey)
Keyworth (Yorkshire)
Biggs (Harrow Weald)
Collins (Harrow Weald and Wiltshire)
Langston (Harrow Weald)
