Edwards    Mary          mother maiden name  Morris    Bedwellty    11a   195    
 
Edwards    Mary J      mother maiden name    Baker    Bedwellty    11a   150

Great, with that extra information this looks like her parent's marriage.


Marriages Jun 1913
   
Frank         Edwards         
Rachel        Morris

Bedwellty    11a   194

This is her birth, the one without the middle initial 
Jun 1922   Mary Edwards  mother maiden name  Morris    Bedwellty    11a   195

I think that the best and safest thing to do would be to get Frank and Rachel's marriage certificate as that would give you both their father's names and their addresses in 1913. From there you should be able to find them in the 1911 and 1901 censuses.

You can get the certificates from the GRO  https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
