Edward W Eagle but not Edward Sinclair EAGLE

I am showing this as EWE is so close to ESE that I was confused until I checked 1881 

1901 St George the Martyr London 
Eagle, Edward W 28 Clerkenwell, London Head 
Phipps, Frederick W 16 Southwark, London Stepbrother 
Phipps, George J 21 Lincoln Inn Fielols, London Stepbrother 

Marriages Sep 1891
Eagle Edward William St. Saviour 1d 427 
Glover Louisa St. Saviour 1d 427 
Lenevaitre Frederic St. Saviour 1d 427 
Merhet Jeanne St. Saviour 1d 427 

1901 - Lambeth London 
Edward W Eagle 37 Clerkenwell, London, England Head 
Louisa Eagle 38 Walworth, London, England Wife 
Frank W Eagle 6 Brixton Son 
Harold B Eagle 4 Brixton  

well this is man above but difficult to take him as our Edward - how come step brothers
The stepbrothers in 1881
Sarah PHIPPS Head W Female 43 St Lukes, Middlesex, England Seamstress 
George J. PHIPPS Son U Male 11 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England Scholar 
Ellen J. PHIPPS Daur Female 10 St Clement Danes, Middlesex, England Scholar 
Jessie A. PHIPPS Daur Female 8 St Clement Danes, Middlesex, England Scholar

Peabody Square A Block Blackfriars Rd

and next household is 
Walter J. EAGLE Head U Male 21 St Clements Danes, Middlesex, England Law Writer (Clerk) 
Edward W. EAGLE Brother U Male 17 St Clements Danes, Middlesex, England Light Porter 
Louisa A. EAGLE Sister U Female 15 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England Gold Leaf Layer On (Printer)

So obviously Edward W is not Edward Sinclair
