There are a number of Edward Wisemans in the right age range showing on the English 1881 Census which you can access through
www.familysearch.org. I had a quick look through but couldn't easily see a Scottish connection through the parents listed for these Edwards.
In the Scottish 1891 census there are a few interesting entries:
~ one Edward, in the army, b. England in 1873 based at Barracks in Glasgow
~ the other Edward I will post the full entry as I think there are probably some mistranscriptions:
Edward Wiseman 82 (?), head, Mirseyman Leedsmante House (for occupation?!), b. Elgin
Elizabeth Wiseman 29, wife, b. Inveravon, Banff
Edward A Wiseman 6, b. Elgin
Elizabeth C Wiseman 5, b. Elgin
William Wiseman 2, b. Elgin
Henry J Wiseman 5 Mos, b. Elgin
Elizabeth Wilson 19, servant
Address: Scottsbank, Elgin, Moray
~ the third Edward has an earlier birth year:
Alex Wiseman 85, Inspector Of Poor, b. Drainie
Jane Wiseman 73, b. Urquhart, Moray
Edward B Wiseman 24, Assistant Registrar, b. Drainie, Moray
Address: No 85 Clifton Rd, Drainie Moray
The English soldier Edward doesn't show in 1901 but the other two Edwards do. What is the date for your Edward's ship crossing?
