The GRO Index provides the following:
Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
EDWARDS, ELIJAH JESSE -
GRO Reference: 1861 D Quarter in MONMOUTH Volume 11A Page 29

You will see that the surname of the mother is not given and this indicates that he was born to a single mother. To be certain you would need to order his birth certificate. You can do this online by going to: https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp#Results
You will have the option to purchase a full certificate or a PDF copy which is cheaper.
Earlier research suggests that his mother could be Esther but the only way to be sure is by obtaining the certificate.

It is most probable that Alfred Edwards is not the father.
