I couldn't find Sydney on 1901 census - no signs either of a birth in Leeds 1899-1902 - how sure are you of your information?
There is a Dorothy Blanche Whittham b 1893 in Holbeck b Leeds - would she be a possibility or is she too old?
Have you got their marriage certificate?

Londu could possibly be LLangan or LLandaw depending on pronunciation, but see what you think with Link above. Nearest likely match I think is a place called Llandough just outside Cowbridge.
