Biography Lived in Clifton, Bristol. Person for whom the musical box was imported from Switzerland, no further information is available about this owner. This could be Colonel H.

Horatio Biden, R.A. Madras Staff Corps (retired)' [Alison Petch [as part of 'The Other Within' project 2006-9] 06/12/2006]
