This is all the inherited names of the lovely Pricilla above. She was born in 1946 daughter of Palma Arpino and Carmelo Accolla who was an Italian. A wartime romance.
So the baby Pricilla was then given over to her great Aunt Emilia Arpino Crawford where she remained for the first two years of her life. This was a normal part of family life in those days when children would. be raised by their grandparents and aunts rather than give them up for adoption. Pricilla was re-united with her mum after her marriage with Lex Slater.
