His father was the Reverend George Miller (1764-1848) a famous Irish clergyman who wrote numerous historical and theological books. Edward became an East Indies merchant and in 1861 married Maria Olivia Darley (1840-1917) who was the daughter of a prominent Irish barrister William Frederick Darley Q. C. For many years they lived in Tolmers House in Hatfield. In 1885 two years after they had moved to Hartsfield Manor Edward died at the age of 65.  Maria lived there for some years. In 1888 she held a large tea party of over 250 people at the house which was described in the newspaper. The property was placed on the market for sale in 1893 and was bought by the Higford family.

He joined the old established family firm of Messrs A Lloyd and Sons who manufactured sheet metal products and eventually became a senior partner.

In 1920 he bought Broom Park in Betchworth and retained ownership of this property after his purchase of Hartsfield Manor. He lived with his family at Hartsfield Manor until his death in 1939. After the war the house became a private hotel and then a training centre. It was run by De Vere Venues as a place for special events such as conferences and weddings but is now owned and operated by CQK Limited as a Hotel still providing conferences & weddings. In 2019 CQK Limited rebranded their hotel business and are now known as the Manor Collection.
