A Hackney va ser reprovat per lleugeresa i per assistència irregular. Pot ser que Edward Henry fos el mateix Purcell, un editor, que publicava música signada "Handel's Head", a Wood Street, el 1751. Al final de la seva vida, Edward Henry devia viure en situació ben precària atès que, a l'edició del 23 de juny de 1761 del London Gazette, s'hi assenyalava que se l'estava perseguint pels deutes: Purcell, Edward Henry: S'obliga Edward Henry Purcell, músic, a fer un inventari dels seus béns i efectes, com a concursat, pres a la presó de "King's Bench", Surrey. Així ho consigno de primera mà el dia 22 de juny de 1761, Henry Saffery. Fou enterrat al costat del seu pare, a prop de la galeria d'organistes de St. Clement Eastcheap.

It may be that Edward Henry is the same Purcell, a printer, who was publishing music at the sign of the Handel's Head, Wood Street in 1751. Evidently Edward Henry was living very close to poverty at the end of his life, for it was noted in the 20 June 1761 edition of the London Gazette that he was being pursued for debt: An Act for Relief of Insolvent Debtors, I do hereby give Notice, That I intend to Compel Edward Henry Purcell, late of Mincing Lane, London, Musician, who is a Prisoner in the Custody of the Keeper of the King's Bench Prison, in the County of Surry, [...] to deliver in and subscribe upon Oath a Schedule of his Estate and Effects [...] Witness my hand the 22d day of June, 1761. Henry Saffory. He was buried, alongside his father, near the organ gallery in St Clement Eastcheap.
