Well, at least you have both father's declared name & their occupations.

Although there's no guarantee they were both alive when Amelia & William married, it does give you a head start.

Amelia's parents in 1841. William is a Seaman.

Neither William or Betty born in Hampshire - I had wondered if they were a Naval (or Army) family. Torpoint/Portsea/Alverstoke all well connected to Navy/Army

IF Amelia was first born, perhaps she was correct in saying she had been born in Cornwall ?
