Welcome to the boards Christine.

What more do you know?

What was your Father's birth name and where and when was he born? If you have his birth certificate it should give Amelia's full name, maiden name and any surname she was formerly known as. Also occupation of Richard James.

Did he have siblings do you know?

Do you know Amelia's surname?

I'm not seeing a marriage between a Richard Burrows and an Amelia anywhere in England/Wales from 1880 - 1920 nor in Scotland.

There are 5 marriages for Richard James Burrows, but not to an Amelia in that same period and not in the area you say they were in 1916.
