His father, William, was Rector of St John's and with his wife, Eleanor Ann, family and servants at Pooles Park, Crambrook Bank, Manchester. By 1871 Edward, an attorney, was in the large household of his brother-in-law, Frederick H Leaf, a wholesale warehouseman, and his wife, Mary. The following year, Edward, now a solicitor, married Amy Emma Leaf on 15 August at St James' Church, Clapham and the ceremony was conducted by Edward's father.
