A search on Ancesty for Edme* brings up lots of similar names, Edme, Edment, Edmee, Edmend, Edmeade, Edmed. I guess some may be mistranscriptions but not all of them.

If Edmeades can exist as a surname (which it does), I see no reason why it cannot be a forename. Unusual, but certainly possible.

My gggrandfather seems to have various names. In the 61 and 71 census he's Watson Vince born abt 1826 in Marylebone,Middx. I've found a birth on IGI for an Edmeades Watson John Vince. Can't find him in 81 but found a death on ancestry for an Edmead Vince in 1881 right area. On his daughters birth cert. he's John Vince. I never heard the name Edmead,do you think it should be Edmund? And also do you think these are all the same person. Thanks for any ideas. Carole
