That section was only supposed to be filled in for married women, but a lot of people didn't read the instructions.

Although that does make me wonder what happened to Edwin. Did he die unregistered? Was he taken in as a foundling and given a new identity? Did he go into a workhouse, or go abroad?

I don't think he could become a "foundling" since he was 6 years old on the 1891 census. But he could have been brought up by another family and given a different name. I spent some time looking for him on later censuses etc earlier and found nothing yet.
