Arthur Kennedy b 1909/12 to Henry Walter Kennedy and Mary Ann Parker.
Lived in Fulham SW6 , then Roehampton SW15.
Its thought he married a Mrs. M. (Margaret?) Madden and had a daughter also possibly named Margaret.!?

Thank you, I have found the marriage 1961 Wandsworth. How do I go about finding where they lived for definite, I'm sure it was around 1962-68 that he was living in Roehampton SW15 London. ???? and any children etc?

You can't find where they were as electoral registers for that time are searchable by address only. All you can do is rely on certs, in this case childrens' births.
As you have found the marriage, you should be able to search for possible offspring - what site are you using?

Just to add the only marriage certs that can be viewed are pre 1921 London marriages in some areas only on ancestry

I can't tell you her father's name but I can confirm that Arthur did indeed marry a 'Margaret' Madden in 1961
