here he is in the 1911 Census

.......... but doing the free search shows there are 15 other Edwards lviing in Hampstead with a Sidney also living in the hosue.


I'm pretty certain he wouldn't have a family of 15 people by 1911, so you will have to go to the site and buy the credits to look at the transcript or actual images to see who is related to who.
