Hospital Farm, Gislingham: A memory of Gislingham

Hospital Farm, Gislingham

A Memory of Gislingham.

I understand my Dad was born at Hospital Farm in 1901. The family then moved to Ivy Farm,
Yaxley but I I'm not sure when? His older brothers Louis and Harry fought in the WW1 and
sadly Harry was killed in 1918 and the family must have moved by then as there is a plaque
to Harry in Yaxley church. I would be interested to know if Hospital farm house is still standing -
perhaps the name has been changed? The family name is Farrow.

Dear Linda Today I went to Mellis and Gislingham to look for my grandparents and great grandparents farmhouse. Potash Farm, Mellis. My grandmother Ivy Hudson was born there in 1900. Her mother Ellen Farrow lived there and married my Gt. Grandad Hudson who worked as a stable man at the farm. As the farm is only 2 miles from Gislingham and the same name I imagine there are other family connections. I have photographs of Ellen (whom I knew as a child)and her Mum and Dad. johnhoward61@hotmail.co.uk
