If you know when their daughter was born then you can work backwards from her date of birth to look for Edgar and Doris's marriage - it doesn't come up on FreeBMD so you would have to look through quarter by quarter.
(By the way, is their daughter still alive? If so, then we should remove her name from the thread)
The nearest I can see on 1901 is this family, but the father's name is given as Robert, not Ralph:
47 Waterloo Road, Leyton, Essex
Robert Lowe Head M 37 Schoolmaster Oxford Banbury
Marion E Lowe Wife M 30 Kent New Cross
Edgar " Son S 4 Essex Leyton
Is that them?KiteRunner

Hmm, I hope it isn't them, because it looks as though the father's name is Robert on his marriage to Marion E (Robert Lowe / Marion Elizabeth Hillman, West Ham Mar 1894) and tracing him back to 1871, it looks as though his parents were called John and Mary Ann!KiteRunner

I would have been tempted to imagine the family were from Scotland, but can't see them on the census records.

I've just realised there are several threads about this family on here already!
So, Liz....do you know if your mother remembered her father at all?
Have you trawled the GRO indexes looking for a death for Herbert Warwick?
I can see that you haven't found a marriage cert for Doris and Edgar. Have you trawled the indexes for that at all? (I've just done 1936-1942 inc but found nothing.)
Maybe either Doris or Edgar (or both ) were not free to marry when they had their child together?

So your mum's surname was changed by deed poll to Lowe in 1941?
I've just done 1931-1935 of the marriage indexes. If Edgar and Doris had been married for a long time before they had their child, then it's surprising they had not had other children before 1941.
I wonder if I should be looking a lot harder at 1940/41 marriages? Maybe Edgar wasn't his first name and I should also be looking at Poole and Warwick as well? It's always possible their marriage record didn't make it to the GRO (esp as it may have taken place during WW2).......
If you are still interested in discovering Edgar's ancestry then finding his death cert might turn out to be important as it should have his place and date of birth recorded on it. I've still had no luck with the names you gave at the start of this thread. Where did you get the information from?
