By the time of the 1881 census, Edwin had joined the Metropolitan Police Service and was living in lodgings in London. Unfortunateley, after only a short time as a policeman and as a result of poor health, Edwin was forced to resign. He returned to Bovey and in in 1887 married Linna SELLER of Tiverton.
Edwin and Linna lived in Mary Street, Bovey, and Edwin worked as an earthenware potter. They raised two girls and five boys, the oldest three boys all serving in the Devonshire Regiment in the First World War. At that time and until his death they lived at 'The Retreat', 8 Abbey Road in Bovey. He was a devoted Baptist. In addition to his duties as Water Bailiff, he served with the Bovey Tracey Fire Brigade and was awarded its Long Service Medal.
