Rev. Allen T. Edwards

1835 vicar of All Saints South Lambeth.

In the 1910 "A history of the British and Foreign Bible Society" by William Canton, Edwards is named as the District Secretary for "Middlesex and places within twelve miles of the General Post Office". "London, with its enormous growth of population, its annual  expansion into miles of new streets, its drift westward to  gayer and more luxurious conditions of social life, had long  presented a bewildering problem. The Rev. Allen T.  Edwards struggled with it from the Jubilee Year {the Society's 50th, 1854} to the  close of 1857. On his resignation the Metropolis was  divided into East and West...".

From Biblical Studies: "A Consecrated Life : Memoir of the Right Rev. Bishop Titcomb, D.D.'  With an Introduction by the Right. Rev. the Lord Bishop of  Rochester. By the Rev. ALLEN T. EDWARDS, M.A. Pp. 129.  R. Banks and Son. 1887.  The writer of this interesting Memoir tells us that he was Mr. Titcomb's curate at Cambridge forty years ago."
