Hi there, I lived in Hockwold as a child for a short time. I left in 1970 but always remember some of the friends I made there. I particularly remember Tansy Bland and she had a younger brother called Roy. Also an older sister but I'm not sure of her name. Tansy and I were in the same class at the school and one vivid memory is of the May Day celebrations where we danced around the maypole on the school field. I used to live in the big white cottage across the road from the village green with my mother and two older brothers. My name was Karen Willis at the time and my brothers are Kevin and Derek. I am a primary teacher now, just finishing a contract in Saudi Arabia. I am returning home to London in a few weeks. My email is kyclancy@hotmail.com. I have enjoyed finding out what is happening there now.

Hi, My name is Leslee Evans and I'm from Shoal Bay, NSW, Australia. My email is bevans@nelsonbay.com . I have just found my great, great grandfather, Thomas West, lived in Wilton Street in 1851. Is this the main street now and does The Black Horse Inn still exist in some form or other? I would love to visit some time in the future. Thanks Leslee

I was looking up Hockwold as one part of my family comes from the village. I had visited it many years ago to visit my uncle Arthur but wish to find out more about my family and Hockwold now.I live in North London Name. my name is Wright but my family was Green. My great grand mother was a Miller or maybe Millar , I believe she was married to William Green. There where a number of children in the family my grandfather was George, Arthur, Norma are the ones I meet. I can't recall the others. Hope some one will be able to come back to me. Madeline Wright.

I knew Liz and Sammy Jackson from Hockwold in 1968-70 when I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath. Liz and I worked in the Housing offices at Mildenhall and Lakenheath--she in Mildenhall and I in Lakenheath. But since both offices handled off-base housing we complemented each other's jobs. I understand that Liz and Sammy are now split and I have lost contact with both of them. I'd like to have contact with Liz now, I understand her last name is different now as people say she has remarried. Can anyone please help?

I would like to make contact with Mike Wall, who appears in your guestbook dated June 2007, who is looking for members of the Bullock family. I have tried the link under his comments but the email bounced back. Is anyone able to help? My great great grandmother, Sarah Bullock and my great grandfather, Robert Bullock and his brother William Bullock were from Hockwold cum Wilton and I need to correspond with Mike or anyone re this family.

, came across the site by chance whilst researching my family who lived in Hockwold and surrounding villages probably from1800 till 1943 although i believe some relatives may still be local to you. Any info gratefully received. Regards Ben Jacobs

Great site, well thought out. I'm trying to find Janet Neale who lived with her parents in a bungalow on Main Street. She had a brother Earnest and a best friend Helen. Last saw her in 1964. Anyone know her?

Hello, I lived in this lovely village when I was but a girl and it has remained in my memory for 50 years. I often think of the friends I left behind and wished so many times to see them again. I lived in the Lawnvilla House, then owned by Margie and Tommy Langley. Tommy was such a nice fellow, o to see there faces again. My name at that time was Nan Livingood. If any one there remembers me please get it touch. Love to all of you, Nan

Hi to all. I lived in Hockwold for most of my childhood. It is a lovely village to live in. To jog any memories I lived in Walnut Cottage on Station Road and then we lived opposite the New Inn in "The Ditherings". To all those who use facebook, I have started a club about Hockwold primary and I am gradually putting on some pictures. All others welcome. Take care

I've been researching my mother's family history, with the following Hockwold and area names. BULLOCK; JOHNSON; MALLOWS; PENDALL; GOULD/GOLDE; RUTHERFORD (Rutterford?) My great grandfather, John Bullock, left Hockwold in the 1860's to join the Metropolitan Police. His wife was Jane Eliza Johnson, also from Hockwold. I have traced the Bullocks back to Edward in 1721 and the Johnsons to William in 1805 all from Hockwold. Is there anyone out there who has any connection to these families? I met Bob Pendall in 2004, but not sure if we're related (or to you either Nige!) It's a great website Nige; keep it up!
