Where was he buried? (Seeing as the marriage was at the Register Office, I'm wondering if there's any clue to the religion of the family). And where did Susan's family come from originally?
Since it's likely no ship lists survive for this family, we have to look at other records:
For naturalisation, I found one possible relation - Harry Lancer, born in Russia, naturalised in 1919. (NA catalogue).
I also found a possible remarriage of his father/marriage of an older brother? - Woolf Lancer, 1912, in Mile End. In fact, I'd argue that freebmd shows it likely that there was one family - possibly an extended family - who came to the UK around about 1905 (when first child born in London).
If all else fails, you might have to wait for the 1911 census.

Hi again eeyores4me,
I suspect Lancer wasn't his roigingal russina name. I have a friend whose father was born in russia, who changed his name from Nikoli Vasilievich Dmitrevsky to Nicholas Leslie.
There are Russian Feration baptism records on IGI but nothing for the name given.
Probably need to look for immigration records, I would thnk.
Apparently a lot of Russian Jews left Russia at the end of the 1900s, and I believe that Jewish family records are perhaps easier to find (don't quote me on this!) - this may be a possible reason for him leaving.
If you do ever need anything translating later, please let me know - my son-in-law is Russian.
Good luck - happy hunting.

Back again,
I know this is a bit in advance, but it might come in useful later.

If you click on translate to english an english page comes up, then look at the column of choices nearest the left hand side and click on Advice(Councils) a beginner.
