Between 1911 and 1915 Robert Edward Davison Hull was the product of a liaison between Herbert Victor Collison and Hilda Davison (nee Harrison). I use the word product as it could have been a natural birth or an "adoption".
Whilst Hilda was from the area, HVC was a wealthy architect from Leicester and not to my knowledge residing in the Durham area. Does anyone in this forum know of any link of HVC to the area (an architectual commission may have had him in the area) or any link to the names?
