Thanks, Shirley.
I had found the marriage but didn't want to go to all that trouble of copying and pasting of census if it wasn't necessary. I have found them all but wont put them here if he already has them.

I have recieved this from the 1911 census with help from a kind helper, but can't seem to find the birth of Edward for 1903 was he born in london as they were living there.

This is the only birth for Edward c1903 in London? -

Births Sep 1902 (>99%)
Ogden Edward Savalle C Hackney 1b 480

Do you know if daughter, Fanny was actually Fanny Dorothy? The reason I ask is because she was born in Hackney too.

I have checked the 1911 census for other Edward Ogden's and there is only one born in London 1903, +/- 4 years

Do you know if your Edward had middle names?
