George "Chike" Butcher was the husband of Mo Butcher and father to Joan Garwood and Frank Butcher.

Backstory[]

George Butcher was born in about 1910 in London. He worked for the London Transport and married to Mo Butcher in about 1936 and they had two children, Joan born about 1938 and Frank born 27 March 1940. He gained the nickname "Chike". Chike later became a locksmith. In October 2000, the marriage certificate of Frank and Peggy Butcher showed George Butcher as his father, under Fathers Name and Occupation, which was a Locksmith.

Memorable info[]

According to the "EastEnders Handbook" by Hilary Kingsley in 1991, Chike was indeed his nickname. In an episode broadcast in October 2000, Peggy is looking at her marriage certificate to Frank, which gave George Butcher as Frank's father. In October 1990, a photo of Chike on his wedding day was seen in a photo album his widow Mo Butcher was looking at.
