• Notes

  In his later life, he is "Joseph Edward".... for instance, at the birth of EJV Desborough, Edward named himself "Joseph", occupation General Hawker. At EJV Desborough's marriage he named himself "Edward Joseph", occupation Halter Maker. At his wife's death he named himself "Joseph Edward", occupation Ropemaker. He appears in the London Electoral rolls at 1890, 91, 93 at 82, LorrimoreRoad, and in 1896, 7, 9, 1900 at 28, Olney St. At the 1901 Electoral Roll at 28, Olney St. is Edward John Besborough (presumably EJVD), so we can assume that JED had died. What I am unsure about is when the roll was taken, if it was Oct time, then this does not match the presumed death date....
