I'm wondering about this marriage.
Charles married Fanny, as per 1911 census, but I can't see Henry and Alice conclusively in 1911. Bath's not too far from Bristol:

Henry James Edwards
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1837-1915

Name: Henry James Edwards
Registration Year: 1901
Registration Quarter: Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration district: Bath
Inferred County: Somerset
Volume: 5c
Page: 1158
Records on Page:
Name
Charles Albert Castle
Henry James Edwards
Fanny Gregory
Alice Mason

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Birth Date: abt 1884
Date of Registration: Dec 1931
Age at Death: 47

Father William died in October quarter 1892.

Kate Edwards on the 1911 Census has had her information on marriage and children crossed out ....... but it is clear that she says she was married 36 years, had 11 children, 6 are still alive and 5 had died.

Was Harry / Henry one of the ones that died??
