This graveyard seems to have been well covered on findagrave.  Edward is mentioned but no photograph, are you sure that there is a headstone

Sorry, I missed your previous reply.  Hopefully someone who lives in the area will see your post and take a photo for you.  It may be worth putting a photo request on findagrave in case someone see it and can help.
