Rowena, The two grave marker photos provided by Bob Bolitho nail down the identification of your Edward PASCOE, since the monument identifies him as the son of Edward and Emily. The monument also says he was of Liskeard. That too makes sense. Although born at Ludgvan, his parents left that parish for Scotland and Wales when he was quite young. The family was back in Cornwall at St. Neot (close to Liskeard) at the 1881 and 1891 Census. Young Edward would have thought of himself as of St. Neot and vicinity, because that's where he did most of his growing up.
