Florence passed away on the 22 September 1936 at 10 Redheugh Bridge Road, at the very young age of 49, no doubt in part because of the loss of so many children at such a young age.

At the time of the 1939 Register, taken before the start of World War II, Edward was residing at Richmond Avenue Islington North London, with his daughter Florence and her family, husband Frank and their daughter Joan.

After the Second World War, Edward's son Joshua, was living at the same address with Edward and Florence.
This continued until Joshua married Hilda V Morewood, who was living across the road at the time.

Edward continued to live with his daughter for the rest of his life, until his death in 1963.
