On 12 Jan 1931, Edward remarried Florence Greenhough, a spinster and licensed victualler. In the 1940s they are remembered as running a pub in Torver, from which they retired due to Edward reaching 65. They lived for a spell in Windermere, at the home of Edward's nephew, Jimmy Brockbank. Florence passed away in 1948, Edward in 1950. At that time he was working as a porter at the Tourists Rest Hotel in Little Langdale.
