My father's half sister Lavinia May Barron was adopted by her aunt and uncle, William and Lavinia Robson. She was born in Iveston, County Durham, England on the 12 April 1900. Her natural parents were William Barron and his wife Caroline Bellerby. Caroline died shortly after the birth. I believe Lavinia May, may have married a Thomas Crisp in the latter part of 1923, if she did they had 3 children all girls - Lavinia E Crisp born 1925 died 1926, Freda Crisp born 1928 and May Crisp born 1930. Lavinia May seems to have died aged 30 shortly after the birth of May.
All help would be much appreciated.

Ann, can you just go over your post again - might be me but it looks as if you are saying Caroline died around 1900 but also that she married 1923!
Not quite sure what info you are after as you already seem to know quite a bit.

Got it! You meant Lavinia obviously:

William re married to Edith Elizabeth Proud on the 3rd of November 1904 at Wes./Meth. Chapel,Lanchester. Their youngest son and therefore half brother of Lavinia May Barron, is my father Stanley Barron.

Lavinia Robson and Caroline Bellerby were sisters. 1901 census has their mother living with Lavinia, her husband William Robson and baby Lavinia May Barron.
