Edward belongs to Man Generation Nine. It was reported that Edward went to Australia at age 20 after an argument with his father and never heard from again. The following missing notice from the New South Wales Police Gazette is from 1881.

So far all attempts to find marriage and death records for him in Australia have been unsuccessful. The missing notice above does not bode well.
