Notes
General:
Jack was born to Eva Blanche Kemshead. Family lore states that Blanche was taken advantage of by a road worker who was working near her home. After Jack was born he was said to have been "given away" in a cafe in Feltham, Middlesex, and was brought up as Jack Cutt or possibly Cutts. He had a daughter named Diane who discovered his real identity after his death.
Jack possibly married Joan C Smith in 1955. Jack may have had more than one child. This requires further investigation. I have been unable to pinpoint his death although I was told it he died around 1985.
