Edwards was educated at Winchester College and received his Master of Arts from Trinity Hall, Cambridge.
As the owner of a major metalworking concern known as the Duffryn Steel and Tinplate Works, he had the resources to fund a number of philanthropic and charitable endeavours for which he was recognised in the 1921 Birthday Honours by being created, at the unusually young age of 32, a Baronet with Hendrefoilan House and family estate in Sketty, near Swansea, serving as the territorial designation. Edwards married Kathleen Ermyntrude Corfield, daughter of John Corfield, managing director of Dillwyn & Company, on 18 January 1911. In the years following his death, Hendrefoilan House became part of the campus of Swansea University and was the site, until 2006, of the South Wales Miners" Library.
