In 1871 Edward appears on the Census aged three years old, living with his parents, elder sister Jessey and younger brother William at 21 Victoria Street in Maidenhead, Berkshire.
By 1881 the family had moved to 7 Victoria Street in Maidenhead. Edward's younger sisters Emily had been born in 1872 and Clara in 1874. Sadly in 1882, 10 year old Emily was to pass away. In 1889 Edward's mother Emma passed away.

My post for next week is for a Norsworthy! Wouldn't that have been a fun coincidence if I'd had it ready in time for this week?!
