for future ref. pm from Rosemary:-

Hi Catherine, Thanks for all your hard work, it is the Prangnell with the wife Louisa which is correct. I am going forward with Wilfred who in 1937 married a Edith Morgan which is where the brickwall is.I was hoping for a Genes member who might be a relative of Prangnell or Morgan to help me further

Thank you
Rosemary

Just checked for occupation of Benjamin (father) in the marriage as I wasn't sure exactly what it was and it does seem to fit with the census record..........:-

Wharfinger is an archaic term for a person who is the keeper or owner of a wharf. The wharfinger took custody of and was responsible for goods delivered to the wharf, typically had an office on the wharf or dock, and was responsible for day-to-day activities including slipways, keeping tide tables and resolving disputes.

.............so all seems to fit together nicely.

1881 for same family:-
Name: Benjamin Raugnell
Age: 7
Estimated birth year: abt 1874
Relation: Son
Father's name: Benjamin Raugnell
Mother's name: Matilda G. Raugnell
Gender: Male
Where born: Peckham, Surrey, England

Civil Parish: Bermondsey
County/Island: London
Country: England

Street address: 11 Guy St

Occupation: Scholar

Registration district: St Olave Southwark
Sub-registration district: Leather Market
ED, institution, or vessel: 2

Household Members:
Name Age
Benjamin Raugnell 43 (Shipping Commercial Clerk)
Matilda G. Raugnell 41
Alice M. Raugnell 12
Benjamin Raugnell 7
Thomas F. Raugnell 2

...........so father is Benjamin.

Matilde is noted as Widow in 1891 census and I did find this:-

Deaths Dec 1888 (>99%)
PRANGNELL Benjamin 60 St. Olave 1d 163

..........so could fit??

Any one with the names Benjamin and Lousia Prangnell with sons Wilfred and Benjamin.
