Susan, yes that's the right person in 1901.

She married John Joseph Edwards in 1910 ( after she had approx. 3 children by him) . A long story but we suspect that Edith was wife no 2.

We know that she was alive after 1918 because my Gran went to see her as a child and my Gran was old enough to remember the event ( Gran was born in 1914).

Hi,
Was her husbands name John J Edwards by any chance as an Edith E Burton married him in 1910 in St Pancras London October/December quarter ref 1b 4.

Possible marriage for Edith to Mr edwards

Karen
Where was Edith living when she was visited by your Grandmother .

Susan,

That's the marriage I found.

She was last heard of in the Kings Cross area of London living in a run down flat.

I don't have a lot to go on as my Gran never saw her again after that visit ( there was a lot of unpleasantness in the family at the time) and completely lost contact with her mother and siblings.
