I have these growing next to some raspberries, are they edible? Thanks for all your help. https://goo.gl/photos/TSVd4Q97HTV6ubHK9

Looks like a redcurrant to me

Red currents seems to me.
Red currents are edible but quite sour. But with a bit sugar or sweetener OK
Yes, show us the leaves and the branches and the shape of the bush.

From the looks of the leaves and fruit I'd say they're red currants and I'd be happy to eat them - I'd make redcurrant jelly with them http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/red-currant-jelly-4460
Because they're very high in pectin they're also very useful as an addition to low-pectin fruit such as strawberries, to make jam - see this thread on a Food Forum http://www.wildfood.info/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=11905&p=303735&hilit=Ian%27s+strawberry#p303735
