Henry Blogg Video
I have written a song called The Ballad of Henry Blogg which celebrates this Norfolk hero. You can watch it at youtube: http://youtu.be/X-QvUHvmVRI Cheers Just BobBob Wright Cromer
Family Connections
I have been able to put the story to rest that I and my family are related to Henry Blogg. Unfortunately my connection to Henry is that my great great aunt Beatrice Butler married JJ Davies Jr, so married into the family that had adopted Henry after the marriage of his sister to JJ Sr. My grandmother Caroline Butler used to tell her daughter, my mother, that she often visited her uncle Henry Blogg when the families met in Cromer. My nan was very proud of her connection to Cromer, its a shame that she did not live long enough to find out the truth.Anthony W Watson Norwich
