If you put her name in on ancestry as nance Amies there are pictures of her and Edward. And the tree States she died in 1937 so ties with her being on the electoral roll,to 1936

According to a public tree on ancestry Edward died in Australia so looks like the family emigrated

Edward Amies

Birth: 1st Aug 1840 (1 Aug 1840) - Shropshire, England
Death: 1929 - Epping, NSW (New South Wales), Australia
Marriage: Jun 1878 - Wolverhampton
Spouse: Nance Meredith

Not seeing them after the 1881 census in the UK

Shipping records start 1890 but not seeing them so must have gone in the 1880,s
