Not finding a Mabel Demmerill at all. :-S :-S

Think I've tracked the son and mother:

London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965
Name: Cecil Richard Sladen
Year: 1937
County or Borough: Westminster
Ward or Division/Constituency: City of Westminster
Street Address: 16 Denbigh Street

Several people at that address including a Claude Gerald and Mabel Janet Bridgman.

There is this marriage:

England & Wales, Marriage Index, 1916-2005
Name: Mabel J Damiral
Spouse Surname: Bridgland
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1921
Registration district: Lambeth
Inferred County: Surrey
Volume Number: 1d
Page Number: 866

Not finding a birth for her, but she's on a tree on Ancestry. No mention of the liaison with Cecil or the children to him but it has to be her.

Some lovely photos, she was very pretty.

If Trevor doesn't have access to Ancestry then he could look on the sister site Mundia, which is free. You can search and view trees and contact tree owners.

Edith might have been baptized in Southport, but she was born in Cheetham:

Wonder if this is Mabel in 1901?

DAMIRAL, Henry Head Married M 34 1867 Storekeeper ( R Ars) Greenwich, Kent
DAMIRAL, Janet Wife Married F 34 1867 Brightlingsea, Essex
DAMIRAL, Mabel Daughter Single F 11 1890 New Cross, London

Piece: 573 Folio: 74 Page: 4
Registration District: Woolwich
Civil Parish: Plumstead

Address: 37, Bramblebury Road, Plumstead County: London

Looks like the father may have been a storekeeper at Royal Arsenal which could be how Mabel and Cecil met?

EDIT: According to the 1911 Henry was a book-keeper at the Royal Arsenal, they's been married 18 years and had no children born to the marriage?

I suspect that Mabel was actually born as Copsey:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915

Name: Mabel Janet Copsey
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1889
Registration district: Greenwich
Inferred County: London
Volume: 1d
Page: 1016

and I don't think Henry and Janet from the 1901 married until much later than implied:

England & Wales, Marriage Index, 1916-2005
Name: Henry D Damiral
Spouse : Janet G Copsey
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1930
Registration district: Lewisham
Inferred County: Kent
Volume Number: 1d
Page Number: 2365

When Mabel Janet returned from New York she had 2 children with her. Could this be the little girl?

England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2006
Name: Mabel A Sladen
Birth Date: abt 1911
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1918
Age at Death: 7
Registration district: Dartford
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 2a
Page: 718

Mabel Janet's parents were in Dartford in 1911 ..........

Thank you everyone for your most valued contributions, I am slowly filling in the life of my Grandfather who led a somewhat unusual life with a variety of partners; more 21st century than early 20th.

Despite the disappointment of her marriage by grandmother remained friends with Cecil and they corresponded up to their deaths
