Gibbins 5 Barrows Yard Lancaster

Looking for connection between GIBBINS family of Barrows Yard and Nellie BARSON formerly GIBBINS daughter of MARTIN GIBBINS. Can find no trace of Martin, who, at time of Nellie's marriage to George Horace BARSON in 1901 was an Army Drill Instructor. Nellie (also known as Eileen or Ellen) gave birth to her second child at 5 Barrows Yard, so there must have been a close family connection. Believe that Nellie & her 2 children remained there or returned to Lancaster where the children, Cyril & Ena, went to school. Are there any GIBBINS or BARSONs still in the area? Any info most gratefully received. Cyril's granddaughter trying to build family tree.
