As you say, her father, according to Lavinia's marriage is John LEWIS.  His occupation is given as a Preacher which does suggest a non-conformist leaning, and is maybe why her baptism is hard to find. Any newspaper accounts of a John LEWIS? 

Do you please have any information about Bertram E J (or maybe E F) Cottle?

I have a photograph album that belonged to my mother which contains the dedication "With Best Wishes from Bertram E J Cottle". It contains mostly pictures taken in Weston around the mid 1920s, showing my mother's family of Ritchie and Pettie, and unidentified relatives or friends. My mother, Catherine Mary Meddleton, was a small girl at the time of the photos, born in 1923 in Weston.

I'd be happy to give you a link to the photos online, if of interest.

Thanks for your help.
