Butcher

[ebocrew]

Hello,

I wonder if anyone out there has information on a BUTCHER family?

The head of the family was COLIN   his wife EMILY BEATRICE.

I believe they originated in Devon but I am told ran a hotel after WW2.

Any information much appreciated

This could be their marriage 

December qtr 1922
Colin Butcher (Spouse Salter) 
Emily B Salter (Spouse Butcher)
Exeter  5b 187

Hello

Yes that is their marriage. I believe Colin Butcher joined the army and was in the 2nd WW but can find no trace of him. His post war family seem to be Channel Island based; perhaps even before 1939? I have no way of knowing.

Thank you

Hello,

I seem to have my wires crossed through information coming in. I have no idea when Colin was born. Presumably they were of a similar age ( dangerous presumption!) Their son ALBERT FRANK was born on 5th Nov 1919. It was he who joined the army in 1939 not his father as previously stated.

Thank you

Thank you

His birth was registered under the name of Salter, mmn Salter.   Exeter reg district 5b 128

Hello,

Yes apparently no father on the birth cert then. I wonder if she eventually married the father? ( Colin Butcher).

I digress. I wondered if it was Albert Frank Butcher  who settled in the Channel Islands? Not his parents!

Thank you
