Biography
Victoria Craston was the second child of Martha Cashmore and Joe Craston and sister of Lulu Adams and Joe Craston. She was born in 1902 and made her debut as a musical act with her sister Lulu aged 10 while touring around Russia with her parents. From that time the duo became a popular musical act in the variety theatres of England and the Continent. Victoria will later join her sister and brother as on another musical act, The Three Crastonians, an Scotch musical act, which they performed in Kilts. Vicky and her brother Joe continued with the act when Lulu decided to focus on her clowning career after marrying Albert in 1927, changing the name of the act to The Crastonians.
