... I descend from the Ede family and thought I may be able to fill in a few gaps with Edward and Clara's family.
Some of the latter children I have no data on them.
Margaret Mary born 18 May 1880 and appears to have died 14 Feb 1901 at Sunnyside Asylum. I've still to go to National Archives to view her file to verify this.
Lillian Alice b.15 July 1881 married Ernest Jones and had 10 children.
Ann Elizabeth b.23 Sept 1882 d.7 March 1884
Thomas Edward b. either 22 or 27 Dec 1883 d.1 Apr 1951
Arthur Stephen you have data for this line
Benjamin (John) I think the John was added later in life and his own idea. b. 1 May 1887 m. Bertha Harris. They were a colourful pair who were sometimes in the Court news.
Henry had a twin who was stillborn. 12.April 1889

Edward William b.1906
When birth certificates were cheap many years ago I ordered some and a few of them were for Edward's family. It was interesting to see the number of different places given as Clara's birthplace - there were at least 4.
