Hello Joshua,
I can confirm that Edwin (who occasionally appears on documents as 'Edward', owing to the frequent use and subsequent mistranscription of the abbreviation 'Edw.') was the second son (and the sixth of seven children) of Benjamin Frederick TRAWIN and Elizabeth (often abbreviated to 'Eliza') REID.
The rest of what you say is correct too.
For the record, Benjamin was my great-great-great grandfather's youngest brother.
With best wishes,
