She stayed there until 28 Oct 1887 when she "left residence, gone to workhouse". The parent or guardian's name is shown as Mrs Dorkin, G. 1901 census: as Amelia Minter, 17, tailoress on her own account, Amelia was living with her grandmother Hannah Minter (qv). 1911 census: as Letitia Amelia Minter: aged 27, single, tailoress, borm Great Yarmouth, a boarder at 65 Sisters Avenue, Clapham Common, London SW (8 rooms), home of James HAWKESFORD (who signed the form) and family. As Letitia A Minter, Amelia married William G SWAIN in Q2 1911 (Wandsworth 1d/958). They had a son William A J SWAIN in Q2 1912 (Yarmouth 4b/13).
