I too am looking for information about this wedding and anything about Amos' time in Waterford, his third son George was my G.G.father, he cut himself off from the family after they returned to Manchester.
The brother in Cork who founded Booth & Fox was in fact John Peter, the eldest bro., George stayed in Derbyshire and was farming before moving into cattle dealing. The Fox part of the Company was Adam Fox who was their brother in law who had married sister Mary.
I have a bit more information and would be happy to exchange it if agreeable

Thanks jjb we have been in contact thru ancestry I posted the pic of John Booth. I got the info about Amos' first marriage from you, I posted on here to see if any more info on Amos and Anastasia, although their children's births were recorded in Waterford (as on the subsequent UK census records), I wonder if they could have been in Cork as that was where the business was. Have looked on othee sites of Irish records but no marriage or birth records have surfaced yet. Keep in touch, sorry about the mis info about George and John Peter. I wonder why he fell out with the family.
