Fordham Family, Philadelphia

I have a Fordham too in my family tree that I have very little information about. His name was Edward Fordham, born, I think but I'm not sure, in Nova Scotia (Canada)on Sep. 23, 1853. I could not find his parents' names.
He married Elizabeth Catherine Fernan, d.o. James Fernan (Ireland) and Caroline Richards (England), somewhere around 1875, probably in Montreal (Quebec, Canada) since they had at least five children, born in St-Mary's Ward (Montreal):
George, b. June 30, 1875
Albert, b. May 4, 1879
Lily, b. Nov 25, 1881 or 1882
James, b. April 21, 1883 or 1884
Charles, b. Aug 28, 1886
Strangely, the name of his wife on burrial papers appears as Mary. His wife Elizibeth had a sister named Mary, maybe he remarried after his wife's death, in 1912 according to Cote-des-Neiges Cemetery archives...
I have no information at all on any of his children.
BTW, I have the marriage certificate for Elizabeth's parents, James and Caroline.
Hope it will help. On the other hand, I would love to know more about this couple.
