Hi Daval,
Not sure he had any siblings - it looks to me as though he was the illegitimate son of Mary A although the 1881 shows him as a son:
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=uki1881&indiv=try&h=111692
RG11/1628 76 2
1891
RG12/353 25 44
Newington, London
26 Union Rd
George Edwards, head, 45, Kitchen? Porter, b. Bedfordshire Lanford
Annie, wife, 36, b. Norfolk Fakenham
Ruben, son, 1?, b. London Newington
Mary A, sister, s, 36, Cork Worker, b. Bedfordshire Landford
George W, nephew, 12, Errand Boy, b. do.
His birth cert would tell for sure ...
You said Nov 1880! I fear the above one is the one registered in Biggleswade Dec 1878  I can't see a George William Edwards registered in Dec 1880/Mar 1881 - only a William!

Your message is ambiguous, particularly as the Nov 1880 date doesn't fit.
You wrote "born in Langford Beds. in Nov 1880 he was married and lived in Gosport in the early 1900's"
Is it "born in Langford Beds. in Nov 1880. He was married and lived in Gosport in the early 1900's"
or "born in Langford Beds. In Nov 1880 he was married, and lived in Gosport in the early 1900's"
There's a big difference

On his service documents it states that he was born in Landford Bedfordshire on 9th Nov. 1880 cannot find him in 1881 census.
I should have wrote-----he was born in Landford Beds in 1880. He was married and lived in Gosport in the early 1900's.I could only find the above name born in Bigglesworth in 1878

In 1881 he was living in Dunton Beds with his grandparents George 59 and Hannah 58 Edwards, and Mary A 26 all born Langford. He is described as son 2, but he obviously isn't the son of Hannah, so son can only refer to the person above him in the household, which is Mary A. (unless of course he was George's illegitimate son, which I think is unlikely)

That William, son of William & Ann, was 1month in 1881 in Langford, in Finchley aged 10 with parents in 1891 but in 1901 the only one that fits ie age 20 born Langford, was in Edmonton but was William A.
Actually the BVRI gives William's birth as 15 Feb 1881, baptised 27 March 1881, so I think he can probably be ruled out. I didn't mention it this morning, but there's no baptism of a George Edwards 1878-81 in Langford
When you say his service documents was he in the Boer War - it's just that I can't find him in 1901

Good thinking Tazzie, but unfortunately not. There was a George Ewbank baptised in Langford on 5 Feb 1882 (born 10 Dec 1881)
