1871 has him as a letter carrier, living in Paddington with wife Harriet (born Islington) and children William 8 and Lily 1.
I can't see the marriage between Edward and Harriet.
1851 has an Edward Sealy b abt 1811 Tetbury, Glos, at Blackfriars, London
He's working as a harness maker and is visitor. Head of household is James Curtis, a porter from Felixstowe, so doesn't sound like a relative.
Hm. Not your chap, I think, as this Edward Sealy born abt 1810 Tetbury is on 1861 with wife Sarah M. living in Mayfield, Sussex. He's a farmer.
Back to the drawing board.
