Lavina Harris Allen was born at Helston in 1841[1].
She was living with her mother Mary in 1851[2]. She was still living with her family in 1861[3].
She married George Lory at Wendron on the 25th of April 1861[4][5].
In 1871 Lavinia lived with George Lory at Helston[6].
At some point between 1871 and 1881 George appears to have left the family. The 1881 census records Lavinia with her children still at Helston[7]. She was listed as "married" but George isn't present. An article in the Australian papers describes the situation[8]; apparently George Lory left the family in 1880 and moved to New Zealand; after a property dispute he was found living at Launceston in Tasmania in 1882 but by this time Lavinia had remarried.
In 1891 she lived at Hackney in London with her two sons[10].
She was living at Upper Holloway with two sones (Allan Arthur and Ernest Lory) in 1901[11].
In 1911 she lived at East Finchley with Ernest[12]. The census record notes 6 children, five of whom were still living.
She was buried at Holy Trinity in Finchley on the 15th of September 1911[13].
