Looks like 'Mabel' may well be May Bailey as Blanche Reynolds could well be her sister?

I will look further.

Joyce, Dea has put ***** next to the names on that 1902 marriage record to indicate who the bride and groom were - namely, Blanche Susannah Bailey and Percy James Reynolds. This couple were staying with Blanche's sister May (Mabel) on the 1911.

The years married on the census are 7 for Mabel and Edmund and 9 for Blanche and Percy.

The daughter Maisie age 5 is most likely a nickname for your May Emily.

Where did you get the info from re: Edmunds birth year and possible naval occupation?

Are you trying to trace Percy backwards or forwards?

Joyce - on the 1853 marriage record there is a Charlotte McDowell and a William Beeching. There is then the 1861 census showing Wm and Charlotte Beeching so that shows which pair married.
