Gave four collections of insects including Coleoptera which he had made while serving in the British Embassy at Constantinople, to the NHM between 1923-1925. Most were from the Embassy gardens (1923.435, 1923.557, 1924.31, 1925.281). (See Miss Grace Edwards above). (MD 10/02)

Henry Turner recorded in EMM., 1928, p.279, that Edwards was ‘an Entomologist from childhood’. He did most of his early collecting in the area of Norwich where he lived and by the age of 24 was able to give a collection of local material to the Castle Museum (see below). In 1891 he left Norwich to take up the position of curator and secretary to Henry John Elwes of Colesborne Park, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

Gave 9 Coleoptera he had collected in the USA to the NHM in 1950 (1950.370) and 1951 (1951.102). (MD 10/02)

Well known Dipterist who was attached to the staff of the NHM.
