Do you recognise this house?
« on: Sunday 24 April 05 08:03 BST (UK) »
Attached are two views of the same house. Does anyone recognise where it is, please? It would have been taken around 1915 and has the name ISIS set into the front of it.

Hiya Joan,

I imaging you suspect it is in Oxfordshire?

Where abouts in Oxfordshire do you think it may be most likely to be?

Hello Trystan,
Yes, I feel pretty sure that it is close to Oxford. One member of the HOWKINS family lived at Bridge End, Woodstock Road, Yarnton, so possibly in that direction.

The parents lived at George and Dragon, 49 George Street, Oxford.

Thanks for your help

Hi Joan
Have we been in touch before? Someone was asking the same question about a year ago on the Oxfordshire Rootsweb list. I took some photos for her and e-mailed them. If I can find them again I'll send them on to you.
