There is limited material online, but there is a useful catalogue. A search of the catalogue for the name BUTCHER, produced three individual who served in the First World War, all of whom were commemorated on memorials. There was also reference made to individual who, with another received a letter of appreciation and a reward of £10 for handling a fire in 1949.

There is a useful Research Guide for Family historians that can be downloaded. There is also a really interesting list of historical job roles and an explanation of what each one meant, you can read this here. A second research guide is provides and overview of material available and explains the legal aspects of the sending and delivery of post and postal services and this can be downloaded here.
