Many thanks to you all for your helpful replies....I had initially discovered incorrect information two years ago about my great aunt which led me on a wild goose chase 
I had moved on to researching another part of the family when Lavinia's name cropped up again - hence my new attempt to find further details.
At least I now have some base from which to move forward in my researches.

This lady, my great aunt, died in Bournemouth in December 1966 - I have no idea where she was buried/cremated. She was, for some years, secretary to the Mayor of Bournemouth....any information/photograph (if possible) about this lady would be gratefully received

Well, it is certainly before the guildhall was built in Victoria Park....I have seen a few references to Hawarden Crescent and a Hawarden House in family announcements in the Cambrian around 1897....I have a feeling that it must be St Helen's Crescent but would appreciate a confirmation..

I wonder if someone could tell me whereabouts this road existed in Swansea.....I am wondering whether it may have been an early name for St Helens' Crescent, Swansea.
