1. Edmund & Edward are often muddled in transcription.
2. I can't find any Edward.
3. Hawker & traveller are interchangable as occupations.
4. Right age for Nora.
5. Right district.

However it's all guesswork without proof.

Sidney's father was Hibberd, he was a gas fitter and Nora father was a traveller, sorry for my typing error.
Sidney was 22 when he married and Nora was 19.

Is it HibberD..............or HibberT?

Is his father's name on the marriage cert?

So what about the census info? Any use? Or not..........................

If this person knows so little about the man, the best advice would be to obtain the marriage cert...........at least then there would be some facts to work on.
