Farms In Croglin

A Memory of Croglin.

I used to visit a lady called Sarah Dixon with my mother in law in the 1970s. She used to play the organ at Croglin Church and her two sons farmed nearby. I believe one of her son's owned part of the fell behind the farm and another son used to grow different varieties of potatoes for Cambridge University. Does anyone remember this family?

Hi Margaret. That was my grandmother you’re speaking of. She’s was such a talent in the organ. Hope you get this message as realise it’s a number of years later. Emma
Thank you Emma. I had a comment from another lady who used to live locally and remembered the family (apparently I got the name wrong - it was Ella, not Sarah. who played organ at Croglin. She and my mother in law (Myrtle Cooke) were friends. I think Myrtle's's father John Ferguson was a farm worker in the area many years ago. The son who grew potato varieties for Cambridge University used to stay with my sister-in-law and her husband (Anne and Brien Little) when he visited Cambridge. Also my daughter Nicola who is a retired community nurse visited your grandmother on a couple of occasions but was unaware of her grandmother's connection to your grandmother. Thanks for your comment Emma.
