Eric,
Edith and Marjorie.
You need to find a connection to Charles or Marjorey to make him a cousin to your nan..

I dont think Ronalds father can be your Charles Colman 1883 as Ronald was born 9th Feb 1891,,Ronald Charles Colman.Unless Lauras father had a brother Charles?
Plus as pointed out the spelling of Coleman for Ronald is no E.

Although when she married the E wasn't there

Eli Coleman was born ca 1840 in Taunton, Somerset, according to the censuses posted above
His wife Eliza was born ca 1842 in Taunton, Somerset
Cehcking on the 1891 Census, Charles Colman (father of Ronald) was born ca 1855 in Turnham Green, Middlesex
His wife Marjorie was born ca 1855 in Singapore, East India
so the connection, if any, does not seem to be at that level either.
