He was presented on May 23, 1415, and June 11, 1416, for living in the lordship and not being sworn in a tithing and, on June 3, 1417, his father was fined for receiving him without his being in tithing. At the Court held on May 2, 1420, the jurors presented that his father, William, had died, holding 9 acres of land "as if free by service of 2s. 6d. yearly" with 9 other acres of the tenement of Eldefelds for the same service "and Edmund is the son and next heir of the same and is of full age." Being present, he was duly admitted paying his entry fine of 2s. 6d. He was mentioned constantly in the Court Rolls from 1420 to 1471 when, on October 17, it was returned by the jurors that he had died since the last Court.

His wife, Joan Drake, survived her husband, to whose lands she had the reversion, according to the terms of his death-bed surrender. It was reported to the court on August 29, 1481, that she had died since the previous Court.
