Prior to that, it was his mother's and before that my great grandmothers (who was born sometime in the 1860s but I don't know the exact year. Additionally, according to things I have read online the lock on my piece is a copy of a Bramah lock not an actual Bramah lock. Apparently when the patent expired in 1812 people started making copies and marked them "Bramah London" ... the next patent come in 1871.
