Also, do we actually know that Elizabeth Hall was the mother of Edwin either? No relationships in 1841 and in 1851 he and Charles are listed as grandsons of John Parkin's mother, Mary Parkin, so, in theory, they could have been the sons of a dau or daughters of Mary Parkin (as Charles probably is), or the children of another of her sons (or two). They definitely don't have to be brothers. I couldn't see Edwin in 1861 to confirm or otherwise that John was his father/step-father.
EDIT: I've still not found Edwin in 1861, but Charles is with John Parkin (now re-married) and is listed as nephew, so it's looking like Charles was the child of an unmarried sister of John.

Edwin is with a Hall couple in 1861, although it says boarder, so we don't know how he was related to them.

Well, I assume it's him although it says Edward.
