Thank you ALL FOR HELPING!

If he was in the merchant navy, he probably met his wife on his travels so she probably isn't in the census records.

The mother's address is the same one Leonard gave on his marriage,so must still have been based at home,and working away.

Louisa states being married for 28yrs
Children 4 all living

........district is Greenwich so the family seemed to have moved there.

Looks like sisters Daisy and Louisa had a double wedding:-

ALEXANDER James London C. 1c 31
CAVELL Daisy Lavinia London C. 1c 31
CAVELL Louisa Maud London City 1c 31
Shaw Henry Arthur London C 1c 31

The marriage (just to situate the couple in 1914)

Marriages Jun 1914 (>99%)
Cavell Leonard Corteel Greenwich 1d 1899
Corteel Jeanne Cavell Greenwich 1d 1899

The district Greenwich spans the boundaries of the counties of Greater London, Kent and London

Patchem
He was a 'Mariner'
I am thinking maybe he met Jeanne in Belgium?
If so,wonder why they married in England..Married at Hatcham Park,Greenwich

According to Leonard's marriage certificate (parish record) he was a mariner. His address was given as 194 New X Road. His father James (pilot) was deceased.

What was Leonard's occupation at marriage?
Thanks

Catherine
