	There are two births registered to George and Hannah Boorman the last one being in 1824. It is therefore quite possible that he died and Hannah met and lived with a Watts unknown and Edward was a child of that union. There is no marriage for the couple that I can find and as it is before the census records there is no evidence. If there was a baptism for Edward in Cranbrook it would make things a great deal easier but alas there doesn't appear to be one.
	Researching: More in hope than expectation!
