| | The Story of the Gaffneys |
 | | The school quickly made a name for itself, and Edward was fortunate in having 80 good a school available at a period when education, more particularly for Catholics, was at a low ebb. |
 | | There is evidence that Edward did well at school. In the end he was a monitor. Moreover he seems to have been on good terms with the Edgeworth family, for we are told that he sometimes acted as secretary to Maria. |
 | | There were numerous other Edgeworths, for Robert, the father, had married four times, and had families by all his wives. William Lovell was another of his sons, half brother to Lovell and Maria. William became an engineer, learning much of his profession from his father. |
