I believe this is the James Edwards (1791-1857, who was the grandfather of my grandmother Alice (née Edwards). If so then, while he was originally from Birmingham, he was a farmer and coach proprietor in Rochester. His widow Mary Ann (née Finch) married John Nightingale of Rochester. His Daughter Mary Ann Edwards died 1842 aged 5 may be in the same grave.
