My name is Elsie Hogan (nee Raffell). I was born on 3-1-34 at Wheatley Hill. My parents were Jonathan and Sarah Elizabeth Raffell.
I married my husband Bill on 5th June 1954; I have 1 daughter Melanie and 2 grand daughters Diane and Donna Louise.

At the age of 9. I was diagnosed with diabetes. I have been a diabetic for 50 yrs I was presented with a "gold medal" from the British Diabetic Association at Dryburn Hospital.
I joined the Mothers Club in 1982. I really look forward to a Wednesday night, as that is when our weekly meeting is held, we do have some good enjoyable nights, and it is a pleasure to go. Bill and myself have some lovely rabbits, which we show at quite a lot of shows.
