Another Lavinia Banton
« on: Wednesday 13 December 17 15:45 GMT (UK) »
A few days ago I asked  you for help finding the death details of my 2nd great aunt Levinia McCutcheon (nee Banton, born Manchester 1836). You managed to find details of her remarriage to William John Delf, his brutal treatment of her and her death in Grimsby, Lincs in 1920. Thanks again.

I now have her niece, also Lavinia Banton, whose death is proving equally elusive. Can anyone help?
Here are the details I have:

Lavinia Banton, b. about 1868, Gorton, Manchester.
1871 census: in Gorton, Lancashire, with parents Stephen and Maria Banton,    and sisters Elizabeth and Jane. Birth about 1868.
1881 census: still with parents Stephen and Maria in Gorton Lancashire, with sisters Jane and Lucy (sister Elizabeth had died in 1879). Listed as Lousia, birth about 1868.
May 16 1891, marries Meshach Kenyon in Bradford, Lancashire. Sister Jane is a witness. Signs herself Lavina.
March 2 1892, son Stephen Kenyon born in Chorlton, Lancashire.
July 1894, husband Meshach dies in Chorlton, Lancashire. I don't have access to the death certificate.
1901 census: son Stephen Kenyon living in Gorton, Lancashire, with grandparents Stephen and Maria, and aunt Lucy (Lavinia's sister). No sign of Lavinia.
I have tried searching with various spellings of the christian name, but can't seem to find her.

Any help or suggestions gratefully received.

There is a marriage of a Lavina Kenyon to a William Knight in Prestwich in 1900 Apr - June.

Lavinia Knight B 1866 Gorton wife of William is in the 1901 census in Chorlton, a cotton winder (William is a navvy). Suggest you locate her and William in 1911 census.

William
