In 1905 a Cecil Berens marriad one of Mildred Turnour Blackwood, Eric Sydney Williams, Dorothy Helen Jarvis. It will need the 1911 census to identify which was his wife, if any. She was the first of these.

In 1911 they were living at Fairtrough, Chelsfield, Orpington, Kent. She had the extra information that they had been married for 5 years with 2 children who were both living:
