shortsocks	a Booth baby bastard! replied on: 8/5/2008 6:45:57 PM Hi My main area of research is still for the Shorthose family, but I do have a Booth connection which someone might be able to throw some light on for me. My ggggg grandfather John Shorthose of Church St, Cotmanhay, fathered a son when he was only 20 with a Sarah Booth. According to IGI records Sarah gave birth to a boy in Netherseal, Leic. on 9/11/1817 (this could be the christening date) who was named Henry Shorthouse Booth. Henry Booth's existence only became apparent to me when I saw a Codicil to a Will of the above John's uncle ie Henry Shorthose (of B on Trent) who leaves a bequest to this "Natural son of my nephew John". The date of the Codicil/Will is 1839, so Henry Booth was obviously still alive then but when John dies in 1877 there is no mention of him at all. If anyone has any trace of what happened to this Henry S Booth I would be fascinated to hear. Again from IGI records, there are a few Booths and Shortho(u)ses living in Netherseal at that time, but I do not know of anyone in the family living there. Any help/ideas as to how to progress with this search would be much appreciated. I have a feeling that the Sarah Booth would have been a local girl to Cotmanhay but this is purely supposition. Regards Shortsocks
pacaine	William Booth replied on: 1/15/2008 5:41:58 PM Yes I am sure this is Grandad Booth's brother Thomas. Obviously in 1901 they had no children at home, and it's difficult to trace people after that date. My research seems to start in 1901 and go backwards in time, therefore I may have to wait for more recent census data to make further progress.

suzard Researcher	William Booth replied on: 1/14/2008 9:33:35 PM 1901 Gladstone St (part of heanor) so don't know if it is Gladtone St Heanor or Langley Mill Thomas Booth head 31 Lace maker Heanor Agnes O wife 30 Belper Marion L Waycock neice 13 Belper
pacaine	William Booth replied on: 1/14/2008 5:58:30 PM My grandfather had a brother Thomas Booth who was born about 1870 and who married an Agnes Wain. They may be the Mr.and Mrs. Thomas Booth you refer to. I haven't yet got around to looking up my Grandfather's siblings on the 1901 census:-( There are so many of them and so little time. p
suzard Researcher	William Booth replied on: 1/12/2008 10:45:26 PM I have found a Booth marriage in R&H don't know if it is of interest -if so I will post the full report R&H Aug 7th 1931 Miss Mary Jane (Jenny) Howitt, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs Alfred Howitt of Mundy St Heanor and Mr Thomas Edward Booth son of Mr and Mrs Thomas Booth of Hands Rd Langley Bride's sister was Miss Edith Bower (here we go again with different names)
pacaine	William Booth replied on: 1/10/2008 5:44:10 PM Thanks very much Searcher 1956 for this interesting information. I didn't realise that Sarah had died earlier.
Searcher1956	William Booth replied on: 12/28/2007 4:57:51 AM Hello pacaine: George emigrated to America at the age of 56. George packed up his sons, George (22) and Wilfred (19), and his daughter, Sarah (17)and left Grassmoor for Liverpool. The Thornhills departed Liverpool 27 July 1912 aboard the SS Lusitania and arrived at Ellis Island 03 August 1912. George listed his brother, Thomas, as a contact in England. Sarah did not emigrate with the family as she died giving birth to their daughter, Sarah, 17 years earlier.
pacaine	William Booth replied on: 11/19/2007 6:37:57 PM This is very interesting. Although George Thornhill is only a Great great in-law of mine I would love to know when he emigrated to America and why Sarah Ann didn't go with him. P
Searcher1956 This message was updated on 11/5/2007 6:37:01 AM by Searcher1956	William Booth replied on: 11/5/2007 6:36:05 AM Hi: The Sarah Ann Booth who married George Thornhill is my husband's great-grandmother. George is buried in Illinois in the Lutheran Cemetery, Peoria. I was looking at the 1901 Census of Hasland, Derbyshire and could not figure out how Henry Brown was George's father-in-law. I thought of several possibilities, but not the one you put forth. It seems to make a bit more sense than anything else. I appreciate the information on Sarah Ann's parents and siblings. The only one I knew about was her brother, John Booth. Sarah's death was registered in 1896, age 39, Chesterfield, volume 7b, page 392. It is my understanding Sarah was a midwife, but I have nothing to back this up.
pacaine	William Booth replied on: 10/20/2006 10:19:09 AM As a postscript to this long thread, I have found, on IGI, the baptism of an Edward Worthington Corkwell in 1799 at St Mary's in Nottingham.
suzard Researcher	William Booth replied on: 10/19/2006 12:17:25 PM Another puzzle is -I cannot find a death for Edward Corkwell Maybe there was a marriage, as some of the births of the children were registered Corkwell -however I have come across that before.
pacaine	William Booth replied on: 10/19/2006 10:53:35 AM So the 1837 Woodlinkin William was my GGranfather's uncle and the Castledine family a red herring. I think that this satisfactorily dots all the i's and crosses all the t's as they say - many thanks. I have sent a P.M. for the details. Thanks again P
suzard Researcher This message was updated on 10/19/2006 1:21:43 AM by suzard	William Booth replied on: 10/18/2006 11:58:48 PM Well pacaine -you'll probably wished you never asked for this info!!!! I had forgotton I had this information on a very complicated family-apologies for not digging it out earlier!There is a very strong possibility that your William Booth is in fact the half brother and witness at the marriage of my Sarah Ann Booth who married George Thornhill-but I don't think you are a descendant of the man with 4 names-Henry John Hancock Brown. The William I have was 6 in 1851, 17 in 1861 -so the age of being 36 in 1881 tallies. 1851/61 Williams p.o.b. was given as heanor -but he was most probably born at langley lane (where mother lived at time of birth-hence giving langley Mill as p.o.b. in later years. The reason you can't find a satisfactory William in 51/61 is because his name wasn't given as Booth!!!! The William I have is the son of Esther/Hester Booth. Esther is the daughter of Samuel and Ann Booth -and had lots of siblings. 1841 Esther lived next door to parents and family working as a servant 1851 Esther age 27 was going by the name of Corkwell and living on Langley lane as the wife of Edward Corkwell age 50 b Nottingham.She had 4 children -all named Corkwell -all down as children of Edward and Esther Corkwell. Fanny 9 (birth reg Booth) WILLIAM 6 (no b. reg found, Reuben 3 (reg Corkwell) Walter 1 (reg Corkwell) 1861 Niger Row heanor Esther 37 still Corkwell and "wife" of Edward 65, children (all named on census as Corkwell) WILLIAM 17, Reuben 14, Walter 11, James 8, Sarah Ann (who was reg as Booth-named Corkwell on census) )4, and they had a lodger HENRY BROWN 28 b Brailsford Derby 1865 Esther Booth married Henry John Hancock Brown 1871 census shows Henry H Brown head 39 b Derby Hester Brown wife 48 Sarah Ann Brown daugh14 -this is Sarah Booth m George Thornhill John Brown son 9 (used name of Booth later-lived with married Sarah) Thomas Brown son 6 The children had a different name on each census!!! I don't think Esther ever married Edward Corkwell-no marriage has been found and she married Henry using the name Booth I know Sarah Ann gave John Henry Hancock Brown as her father when she married How many of the children were Browns or Corkwells I don't know -but I suspect Fanny was perhaps father unknown?? I must research these children further. If you would like to mail me -either P.M.me or ask Robert for my address-I can send you the census images! Fanny Corkwell age 9 in 1851 married Dec 1859 Basford district using the name Fanny Booth -to Horatio Nelson Barks 1891 shows Nelson St Heanor Henry Brown 58 Brailsford Esther Brown wife 69 Woodlikin Thomas H Booth Grandson 17 heanor Henry Barks Grandson Heanor!!! and who else was living on Nelson St at that time but William and Harriet Booth and family!! Also William and Harriet had a daughter named Esther Ann -after William's mother Esther and Grandmother Ann???? By the way there is a birth reg Dec qtr 1844 Basford dist William Corkwell 15 447 -which I have a strong suspicion is really William Booth! Have a lie down in a dark room for a while!!!! Suz
