One person may have the same Alexander in their tree EDIT and other members of family as per 1911 census.

I have ticked on census searches, Edward born 1909

GOLDSMITH, EDWARD BOWEN Order
GRO Reference: 1909 M Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 616

GOLDSMITH, ALEXANDER BOWEN Order
GRO Reference: 1907 S Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 625

So looks correct as Alexander married Brewer 1940 and had Peter and Ann 43/45

Agree
Unless they have joined genes then there's zero chance of any contact or response

If you want to give any family info so helpers can try to find further info

Unless they are GR members, they aren't likely to see your post, except if by some chance they google their own names

Pauline, assuming you don’t want active help in finding your cousins, have you used the Search all members trees function, top right on any page? If they are listed in anyone’s tree, send a message via the link.

There’s only a minuscule chance that they will spot this post & send you a message.

I am trying to trace my cousins, Peter Goldsmith and his sister Ann (nee Goldsmith)
Our Dads were brothers, Alec and Edward from North London.
No more info for now as I think you will know who you are from this.
Please e-mail me if you would like to make contact. It would be great to catch up on many years.
