Is this your Edwin aged 22 marrying in Leeds in 1861 to Mary Ellen Cooper born Guiseley?
Son of James Parkin a footman and witness Charles Parkin?

I saw Mary Ellen on the 1871 census with son James aged 5, but no sign of Edwin and wondered if this was your family and him not being in the house was the reason you were finding Edwin difficult? I didn't look any more in case I was on the wrong track!
