Dear All,
The messages I received all seemed to agree that it would have a transport
connection. I must firstly apologise for getting the measurement wrong. I
was being hurried off the computer and quoted inches instead of centimeters.
Woops. I think we need a second computer in this house so I don't have to
share. I have put out some enquires to transport museums and will let you
all know if I get an answer.

Perhaps it may help shed some light on the origins if SKS could look up my
ggrandmothers family in the 1871 census, as I do not know how many brothers
or sisters she had, perhaps they were the owner of the medallion. Her name
was Mary Jane Minchington (she married William Henry Barge). I do know that
in 1881 she was living in Yeovil as a servant, and she was born in Yeovil in
1861. She married there in 1882, her father is listed on the marriage
certificate as a labourer (deceased), so I don't think that the medallion
was his? As an end to this story she came to Australia in 1888 with William
and settled at Torrumbarry in Victoria, where they had 6 children. They
only had one son who was my grandfather.

Thankyou all for your kind assistance
Donna
