As I posted earlier, Catherine was born in Isleworth in 1852 whereas William was born  in Westminster in 1854.  Catherine always used Edwards and the only time she is seen as Riley is the 1871 census when I think Eliza would have given the necessary details.  William always used Riley.  I also think Eliza latched on to Peter, a fellow boarder at Caroline  Street, but that doesn't mean he wasn't William's father.  I doubt he was ever married to Eliza and can only think she stuck with Riley to put a shine of respectability on her life. 

Anyway, it's all speculation and I'm not related to William or Peter so thanks for all the help, it's really appreciated.  Thank you.
