Hi am James from Norwich,, I have a connection with driffield and also pocklington, my great grandmother Mary Jane House was daughter of the station master in Driffield.
In the 1871 and 1881 census he that is I think Thomas House, I am not sure off the top of my head was at Pocklington station just to the East of York and in the 1891 and 1901 census he is shown as being the station master when it was Great Driffield.
I intend to visit Driffield sometime even if it is to only visit the station where I am hoping u might have info on the man.
Many thanks

Margaret, Thanks for your post regarding our dads, I appreciate it. What was your dad's first name? I'll have to ask my mom if she remembers him. You said you have a photo of them...from which year? Any chance you could scan a copy and email it to me?

The quietness and beauty of the Wolds
is magic in retirement. I wish I could
find a property in east yorkshire.
I've had enough of the buzz of city
living. The churchyard in Fridaythorpe
is well kept, and the view is
wonderful! I like cutting grass.
What else can I say, other than Im
still looking. Sincerely. Bill.
