Hello Everyone,
Could someone look up the 1851 census for me please?
I am looking for William Booth b.1801
his wife mary booth b.1791
there are children william b.1836, amos b.1826 and edward b.1831 but they may have left home by then.
Should be in the astbury, congleton area.

Does anyone also know how i can look up the marriage between willaim and mary? how do i do that?

Thanks!!!

Thank-you!! Thats great.

On the 1841 census there seems to be a sarah booth b.1771 living with them. I just guessed this might be William's mother.
I have tried to search for a death certificate but cant seem to find anything.

Hannah Report 28 Aug 2007 08:55

the first child was amos booth i think then b.1826.
I would have thought they were married and had the children baptised at Astbury church, congleton, cheshire or st peters church, congleton.

I am related from their son william booth born.1836 but i cant find anything on him. I think he married a lady called martha, i dont know her surname but i think that would have been at astbury church because they were buried there too.

jen yorkshire Report 28 Aug 2007 09:14

there are 3 marriages on freebmd, cant see any in ancestry.

martha shepley 1854 stockport

marth lomax 1855 altrincham

martha howard 1859 warrington


gerald barber with them on 1861 is a boarder

Hannah

Hannah Report 28 Aug 2007 09:16

Thanks jennifer.
I think it could be the one from stockport because they later owned a pub there and its not that far from congleton.

Hannah

Hannah Report 28 Aug 2007 09:17

ah right, that explains it.
I wondered if maybe the other names on the other census were relatives because there was a child that was only 2? with the surname booth
