Trying to find Edwards

Seeking any possible information about Henry Edwards & Charlotte Sullivan. The following is what I know of them so far..... They were married at St James' church, Shoreditch, 22 July 1861. Both were full widow/er & were living at 16 Holywell Lane at the time of their marriage. Henry's father was William Edwards (mother unknown) & Charlotte's father was Charles Blanks. According to the 1871 census Henry came from Cambridge & Charlotte from Whitechapel, both were aged 42 & they had at least three children - Jane (my gtgrandmother) b1862, William b1864 & Henry b1866 all from MENT (Mile End New Town). I have found, on LDS website, christening details of a Charlotte Eliz. Blanks, daughter of Charles Blanks, mother Mary, where it says she was christened on 25 Dec 1828 at St Mary Whitechapel, Stepney which, if they are the same, would mean she was 33 at the time of her marriage to Henry. Henry was a bootfinisher in 1871 & according to the marriage certificate, both fathers were shoemakers. Does anybody know anymore about these two? Did either have any issue from their first marriages? Pru
