Other information
Edwin married Amy, sister of fellow patrol member Len Guiver.
Len's son John tells us: "Edwin Whiting was originally from Purleigh. In 1923 he applied for a Conductor of Stage Carriages licence in the Ilford/Chadwell Heath area, hence the move to Dagenham at the time of the 1939 National Register. He and Amy returned to the local area and for a time he joined my father in his private car hire business, which Len operated in addition to his pub landlord duties."
