What I've found for Leonard born 1879:
1901 census – Woodcote, Hollingbourn, Kent
Alfred Willis, head, 51, living on own means, born Luton, Bedfordshire
Sofe Willis, wife, 50, born London, Kilburn

Rose Savage, servant, 24, parlourmaid (domestic), born Kent, Maidstone
Alice Savage, servant, 19, kitchenmaid (domestic), born Kent, Maidstone

(Piece: 770; Folio: 16; Page: 23)
*In the column for occupation for both Gilbert and Leonard there is simply an “L” written which I presume means they were “living on their own means” as well but I could be wrong.

1881 census – 12 Northbrook Rd, Lee**, Kent

Annie Willis, wife, 38, born Middlesex, London
Annie Willis, daughter, 14, born Kent, Lee
Esther E. Willis, daughter, 12, born Kent, Lee

**Lee is in the Lewisham registration district.
1871 census – 14 Handen(?) Road, Lee, Kent
William Willis, head, 35, barrister in actual practice, born Bedfordshire, Dunstable
Annie Willis, wife, 28, born Middlesex, East Northfield(?)
Anne Willis, daughter, 4, born Kent, Lee
Esther E Willis, daughter, 2, born Kent, Lee
William O Willis, son, 1, born Kent, Lee
Herbert Willis, brother, 15, born Bedfordshire, Luton
Emily Richards, servant, 23, general servant (domestic), born Kent, Sheerwood
Mary Ann Rice, servant, 17, nurse (domestic), born Middlesex, Islington
(Piece: 765; Folio: 113; Page: 41)
The 1871 census certainly ties in with the 1901 census entry with Leonard's uncle, Alfred, being born in Luton as was the brother of William on the 1871 census. Luton and Dunstable are only about 5 miles apart.
