I am looking for info about my grandmother's sister, EDITH EDWARDS, BORN c1881

Father: Thomas (Joseph) Edwards
Mother: Elizabeth Edwards (nee Hayward)
Sister: Constance Edwards

EDITH is listed on the 1881 census living in Marylebone London with her parents, and as her age isn't shown I assume she was a baby. Her mother died 4 years later in 1885 shortly after giving birth to Constance. I cannot find any record of Edith after that, or indeed her father.
I believe that her married name was WARD and that she had two children, Eileen and Cecil.

Can anyone out there help please with information about Edith, or indeed her father Thomas (listed as Joseph on 1881 census).
Thank you
Angela
