The death registration index shows that Amy was aged 68 when she died, i.e. was born about 1805. Amy was boarding with the Fisher family at the time of the 1861 census (when Elizabeth was 16); no relationship shown. Not clear so far whether Amy was just a friend of the family or related. It is interesting to note that Amy was recorded in 1861 as a bonnet maker, more specifically as 'straw bonnet maker' in 1851 and that in 1871 Elizabeth was a 'straw worker' - I suspect Amy may have taught Elizabeth to make straw bonnets.
