Hi

I'm researching Booth and Smith in Goole and  Rawcliffe. Betsy Booth who was a hawker, who married firstly to a chap named Coleman, and later to a Robert Smith. I've been unable to find her father Charles Booth (who is on both her marriage certificates). Whilst researching on a newspaper site I discovered Smith and Booth links at Rawcliffe and Snaith.

There is a Booth family using the name "Cynementy" at Rawcliffe, she is daughter of William Booth, hawker. He has nephew and niece William and Eliza.

Younger William was born in Nottingham, can't decipher place name on 1911 census.

I have also found 9th July 1887 newspaper 'Nottinghamshire Guardian', 'Everett Booth alias Plumb', aged 24, indicted for stealing a bay mare from Robert Watling of east Stoke. Found NOT GUILTY.

I also found him as 'Everard Booth' alias Plumb, horse dealer of Leicester, found guilty of being drunk at Leicester Abbey on 30th January 1886 with a chap called John Darker of Markfield (Leicester Chronicle feb 13th 1886) They were each fined 5 shillings, and 13 shillings costs, or 5 days in gaol!

There is another story from Nottingham Evening Post 10th November 1882, of Everett Booth and Henry Plumb damaging a hedge at West Brigford by jumping a horse over it. Everett is described as a 'horse dealer' and Henry his 'assistant' once again they were both fined. (Nottinghamshire Guardian).

In another appearance at court 9th Jan 1886 he was described as having "no fixed residence".

BUT, there is also a story 25 years previous to these, of two gipsies named James Booth and 'Everrit' Plumb, being drunk and fighting at Barkston, on trial at Belvoir Petty sessions July 1st 1861.(Leicester Chronicle again). They assaulted James Scofield, parish constable, in the execution of his duty. Fined £1 with 10 shillings and six pence costs.

They certainly are a colourful bunch!

In 1893 a John Plumb was at a fair in Grantham....A Mr Fletcher's Peep Show. A man named Henry Hughes hit John in the face for not stopping the organ :o

Hi . Don't know if thread is still live. Everett Plumb would have been  my 3x Great Uncle I've got on to part of my tree. Nathan plumb would have been my 3x great grandfather.

I have just come across Keziah Booth and her off spring, in which they would have been my 1st Cousins 3x re moved
So trying to find out more. My tree is on Ancestry as I couldn't trace any marriage records for Everett or Keziah  now I know why. Hope to hear from someone.

My 2x Great Grandmother was Violetta Plumb m: William Caunt, my Great Grandmother was Eliza Caunt 1851 Nottingham.

Regards
Eddie

Hi Kaziah. Many thanks for your prompt reply, and good to hear from you. I see this thread has been going quite a while and took the gamble that someone was still out there. Would be nice what ever info you have. My Ancestry is under the name Eddie Marris. Not sure if you can put your email address here but I'll give it a go as I am not sure how this site works yet.

Eddie
