Edwin is said to have owned or worked in a jewellers in St Johns Wood, London.

After mining for some time, Edwin & Richard Thompson, combined the business of bakers and market gardeners, calling the bakery the "Golden Age", the remains of which can still be seen.

Delivery of goods was by pack mule ("Old Jenny" purchased by Edwin in 1868). Later they invested in two horses and a wagon. The bakery was at Winding creek close to Uttings store. In 1867-68 they developed a market garden on 10 acres known as Deans orchard, at Winding creek and this was very successful, growing peaches, rhubarb, cabbages, etc. However the seasons were not altogether kind, and fruit and even potatoes became hard to grow. In 1872 they commenced dairying with several cows, Edwin carrying the milk around with the bread.

In 1876 Strugglers' Flat in Block 10 was thrown open, and Richard Thompson and Edwin bought two sections, 50 acres each! (sections 11-13 says Miller). They milked cows and made butter. In 1879, they bought three sections from Colin Robertson, and in 1880 a section from Hurley Brothers. Miller mentions a 50 acre section being bought from Patsy O'Donnel. John Thomas Thompson carried on the farm until Edwin died, and then had to go and bake bread which he knew very little about.

The Waikaia Herald of Saturday Sept 30 1882 (have reproduced copy) features a display ad which reads "Dapp and Thompson, Waikaia, Fancy bread and biscuit makers, pastrycooks and confectioners, Bread delivered in town and country, Fruit and vegetables in season, new milk, cream, fresh butter, etc, at lowest prices."

Stones of 1886 says Bakers: Dapp & Thompson; J Wallis

Stones Directory of 1888 states "Richard Thompson and Emma Dapp, bakers and dairy keepers".

The Thompson's took over Dapp's share and the business wa sknown as Thompson & Son.

(Medical):Buried in the same plot as Charlotte Lulham.

His headstone reads: "In loving remembrance of Edwin Dapp, native of Brighton, Sussex, England, died 26 Sept 1883, aged 56 years. Also Charlotte Lulham, native of the same place, died 13 Nov 1883, aged 80 years (Fraser and Sons, Invercargill)"

His will (have copy) dated 9 February 1877 left everything to Emma, describing her as "my dear wife", and named her as executrix. In the will Emma was initially named as Elizabeth Dapp, "Emma" being added in, probably this means Edwin called her Elizabeth rather than Emma. Witnesses were Colin Robertson, Stoutman, Switzers and John Francis Garry, clerk. Probate granted 16 October 1883, Lawrence Ready, Solicitor, Invercargill
