Jean Cook and the "Happy Vaccy" story

If you have read the "Happy Vaccy" story in the pages of the Glemsford Local History Society, you will not be alone in being fascinated by Jean Cook's description of a young person's life in the village as an evacuee during the War.

Several people have been in touch asking about Jean.

If anyone knows of her since she wrote that article a while back, the Society would love to know.

You can contact me via the usual email address.

I have recently sent and e-mail to Glemsford in the hope that someone may enlighten me as to whether there is any trace of my ancestor Edgar Butcher - he appears on the
18 census as being born (birth year 1851) in GLUMSHEAD which I think should be Glemsford - he came to West Ham in Middlesex and was a mat weaver - I think he was the son of SAMUEL BUTCHER who was a grocer in Egremont Street-
could anyone help me trace the correct family? - thank you! I did actually visit Glemsford last year
but didn't find any evidence of the Butcher family -
