They are very good at look ups on the Canada board  (Mark it Birth/Marriage - LOOK UP) you may be able to get more information on Edna, plus they may find the marriage for you.  Looks as if both were in Canada.  Hope this helps.  ;D

Since this man seemed to be in Canada, I'll move your post over to the Canadian board.

Looks as if he had a son Frank 29 May 1908 and baptised 5th July. If you send me a pm with your e-mail address - I can send you the document. 

Looks like the infant Frank age 2 months -  died 3 Aug 1908 Buried on the 4th August  ;D

dettori made reference to a census entry as the 1910 census but it is the 1911 census. Census in Canada are done in the same years as the UK.

That 1911 census indicates that Frank immigrated to Canada in 1907 which would seem to be confirmed by the fact he had a son who was born and died in Quebec in 1908. Here's a link to the 1911 census entry with image for the family in Quebec (starts on line 43):
http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/SplitView.jsp?id=109190

In the Drouin Collection at Ancestry, the parish record indicates that Frank's wife was Emily Streeton. In the Free BMD there is a marriage for a Frank Hitchen Dent in Lancaster, Lancashire in the 3rd quarter of 1906 that has an Emily Streeton on the same page (vol 8e, p 1676).

The Frank on the Southwark which departed Liverpool in Mar 1911 and arrived in Halifax in Apr is a different Frank. He is older than your Frank (29 so born about 1882) and single.
