G'Day all
As a 4 or 5 year old lad my husband who lived in London would visit an "uncle" at Hoxne near Diss - this was in the late 1940's. Uncle had a farm and uncle's house keeper's name was Mrs Hawes who lived in a thatched cottage in the village, a comfortable walking distance from the church. Mrs Hawes had a son maybe named Brian probably born in the 1930's. We think uncles name may have been John Wood and he had a mixed farm just out of the village on the same road that lead to the Vicarage and my husband thinks the Vicar had 2 daughters. There was a blacksmith/farrier just near uncle's farm on the edge of town.
We are looking for any information that may lead us to locating any information about Uncle, Mrs Hawes and the village of Hoxne in the 1940's.
There is a possibility that my husbands visits to Hoxne may have been organised by WVS as this was just after WW11.
Thanks in advance
