Edward was the only son to follow his father's trade of bootmaking (also referred to as shoemaking or cordwaining). He married at the age of 18 years Elizabeth Dunklin, the daughter of another cordwainer, William Dunklin. They were married at St. Leonards, Shoreditch, on May 1, 1868 (see certificate above)
Like his father, Edward remained in the Enfield district for his entire life. He and Elizabeth raised a family of eight children- Jane, Thomas, Alfred, Annie, Frederick, Henry, John and Alice
