Maybe he was C. Albert Edgell, or something like that, and is in the
Census under his middle name? Maybe he was an American or Canadian or
...? How many ways are there to spell Edgell? Maybe it was a pseudonym?
Maybe there was no partner, except as an ornament to the firm name to make
it sound less foreign? I'm reminded of a suggestion I once heard that the
first person of any computer product ought to be version 2, to make it
sound like it's been around for a while. The first check in a register is
often 1000!
