The Parents then came back to Victoria and went on to have 7 daughters my Grandmother being the second eldest.

  This clock is made from Bakelite the first ever plastic invented in the early 20th century. this clock was a gift from my father to my mother to celebrate my birth so we are the same age, fortunately I still work (a lot slower than I used to !) but this clock doesn't work anymore and would cost too much to fix according to one expert so it is just an ornament now
