Jodie Collins notes:
My dad's father was a butcher and had died of a heart attack at the age of 48 or 50 (he was a smoker).
He apparently was found dead at the back gate of his home having just come back from a visit to the hospital! These days they would have done an EKG at the hospital and he may have survived.

Edward married Lilian Alice Hamester, daughter of William Nicholai Christian Hamester and Amelia Jane Ikin, on 9 Feb 1928 in Waverley, Sydney, NSW Australia. (Lilian Alice Hamester was born in 1910 in Sydney, NSW Australia, died on 29 Jun 1980 in Villawood, Sydney, NSW Australia ⁵¹¹ and was buried in Cremated.)
