They had at least eleven children: Robert (1830-), David (1831-), Charlotte Mary (1833-1864), Charles (1835-), Mary Bush (1837-1884), William (1839-1894), Frederick (1840-), Alfred (1843-), Martha (1848-), Henry (c.1850-) and Louisa.
David was a carpenter and publican – and ran the Horse and Groom pub on King Street. He died there aged 46 years old.

Charlotte Edwards (née Dyer) (c.1806 – 20 September 1853)
