 I happen to have been helping someone else with research into this officer. In fact he had married Mary Violet Sellar in Scotland in 1893, and they had a daughter, Eleanor Ruth, in 1898 (these records can be found on ScotlandsPeople). In the 1911 census for England & Wales, Mary Violet Dent and Eleanor Ruth are recorded as living in Burley, not far from Edgar John's brother Herbert Wilkinson Dent in Brockenhurst.
