I am hoping that someone can tell me the exact address of Leonard Charles Cornell born 1889, Shelford and living in Chelmsford in 1911 with Mother Susan and brothers Percy and Frank. If I have the right Leonard Charles Cornell, he married Gladys M Matthams in 1935 and lived and worked at the old Mill, Mill Lane, Ingatestone, Essex. Hoping that an exact address in 1911 will help find the right Leonard. Before 1935 the only other place of residence seems to be Writtle, Essex.

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the info Chris. I am having trouble finding a marriage for Arthur and Susan? in 1891 census they appear to have a son Cristopher born in 1877, Romford. But without access to the full entry for 1891 or 1881 I am trying to guess when and where they were married and how many kids?
Thanks for your help

On the original image of the 1911 posted above Susan states she had completed 29 years of marriage. Now, whether that meant 29 years from date of marriage to 1911 or 29 years from date of marriage until Arthur died I don't know.

Also, she'd borne 9 children, 8 of which were still alive.

This looks like Arthur's death:
