Hi Debbie,
This looks like the enumerator trying to be helpful. The elder Edward INDOE
was living in the same parish as the younger Edward and to distinguish them
the younger one was given the Junior label.
I have come across Uncle & Nephew being identified in this way before.
I can see no problem with an Edward and an Edwin being brothers They both
appear on the 1841 census as well.

Best wishes

Pat
