says brosley shropshire on census for his birth

Thanks for that but I've already found John Booth on the 1841 to 1871 censuses. It's 1881 that I'm after.

Here's his marriage certificate. His father is deceased but that doesn't help with the 1881.

No I don't have Henry's marriage certificate. He was only 17 at the time of the 1881 census and was living as a boarder.

Have you got Henry's marriage certificate and, if so, does it describe his Father as deceased?
Thanks

Hello,

I'm looking for John Booth and/or his wife Sarah on the 1881 census.

Based on the 1871 census when they were living in Worcester John Booth was born about 1838 in Broseley, Shropshire and was a tanner leather merchant, his wife Sarah was born about 1841 in Thurlston Grange, Derbyshire. Their son Henry was also with them. He was born in St. Johns, Worcester in about 1865.

I found Henry Booth on the 1881 census living in Islington, London but I can't find his parents. I couldn't find any evidence that they died before the census either.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
