Both Eleanor and her older sister Rosa married Sheppey men as their first husbands and subsequently lived there. Rosa was widowed in Q1 1906 and then Eleanor herself in Q4. The following year they married two brothers. It was not a double wedding (they married in different quarters), Eleanor, the second widowed, marrying first in Q3; it looks like the marriage was quite urgent as a child was born the following quarter!

Family Raymond Jellicoe KNIGHT, b. 18 Aug 1917, Sheppey Reg Dist, Sheppey, Kent, England , d. Dec Q 1977, Sheppey Reg Dist, Sheppey, Kent, England (Age 59 years) Married Dec Q 1939 Sheppey Reg Dist, Sheppey, Kent, England - GRO ref: Knight, Raymond J to Yates, Grace M q4 1939 Sheppey RD 2a 5253
That is was this Grace M Yates who married Raymond seems to be confirmed from her unusual middle name, and the fact that a Grace Margaretta of the right age died as a Knight. Medway Registration District was close to Sheppey, but as Grace's parents both died on Sheppey and her siblings were born there she was most likely living there at the time of her marriage.
The couple appear to have had children from 1942 - 1956 (at least).
