Iam very sorry. Wakelin rd is correct they went to pond road afterwards. John also appeard to middle names of George and William. he did have a daughter called Lliy born about 1888. maybe she could be Amelia. what do you think. it could make sense with the second marriage.

Both addresses are still there on google maps streetview this area is now Stratford E 15

5 Pond Road is uninhabited on 1911 enumerators list

:-S


Not finding a 5 Pond Road in 1911

This is for info may or may not be her.

The only A B dyer I could find is Amelia Bertha born 1888 West Ham
she married in June quarter of 1910 but not to a Head but to John Thorn but an Amelia Thorn married William A Head in the December quarter of 1913 Romford district.

There is a death for John Thorn in the Decemebr quarter of 1910.
