Sherry,
I looked on-line to see if there were any free birth records or baptismal records from parishes regarding your ancestral names for Shelburne/Queens, Ragged Island. Only through the Nova Scotia Vital Records you'd have to pay or with the Historical Society. The society wants search fees.

Here is her information:
BOWER, Mary J.

She researches these surnames for that area -
Belong, Johnson, Sperry & Williams
I'm sorry I couldn't be more help but perhaps Mary Bower can find the middle name you need for Edward.
