Could someone help with this please?
Leonard Cavell was born 1884 at St Saviour,South London.
His father was James Cavell.Could someone let me have the 1901 or 1911 census details for him please?
Leonard married Jeanne Corteel in 1914.Her father was named Edmund,however I can't see either of them anywhere in 1911.
Jeanne was a Belgian,so possibly was not here yet,but I would like to be sure
Thank you

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

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

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