The first general election for the House of Commons of the United Kingdom was in the year 1802. Henry Addington was appointed as Prime Minister by King George. Women did not vote. After that there were two more kings and ten more general elections, and still women could not be voters. After the death of William IV, there was a queen. During the reign of Queen Victoria there were fifteen more general elections, and still women could not vote. In the twentieth century there were three kings and a queen who could appoint prime ministers, and there were twenty-five general elections. In this century we have had seven prime ministers. Some women got a vote after 1918, and more after 1928. I can vote in this July. I am in a new constituency. I did not move house but I have changed constituency. The boundary jumped across the land, over my house. The time before I was in Truro and Falmouth, now I am in Camborne and Redruth.

Julia McKenzie made a lot of beautiful little birds out of maps - folded pages like Japanese origami. But what kind of bird are they? And why are they significant? They are swallows - considered good luck by sailors, because of showing that land is near. (A swallow is never seen in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.) She painted swallows, too, with maps on their bellies, forked tails and red throats. I love this exhibition.

T hen Stephen married Mary, Mehitabel's younger sister.  So, Mary was Calvin's aunt and his stepmother. Stephen and Mary had a son, Henry. That son was Calvin's half-brother. But as the aunt's son was he also Calvin's cousin?
