Did they have any children?
The birth or christening record of one of them should give you the name of the father. If there is some discrepancy over his name, it may be worth checking first.

The above man's father was Ernest William

Where did you find Benjamin's second name as William?

BTW...he was aged 22 when he married

Three further Harrison/Lees children on freebmd registered in Lambeth................you can find them yourself - they may be living, so I can't put the details here

Ronald Married Margaret Maud Monk Formerly Field

The 3 Children I know of Thank you.

If you're looking for them on the 1901 census they're mistranscribed Hanson on Ancestry.
Actually original certainly looks like Hanson but children all match.

Thanks

I cannot find them on 1901

On Ronald's Marriage cert it says Father Benjamin William Harrison (Deceased) His Profession was a Tailor.
