Could some one look up Thomas Booth 1827 and family in the 1861 and 1851 census for Tunstall Staffordshire county. In the 1871 census he they are shown as living on Windmill? street and he was a earthenware Manufacturer. His company became widely known in later years when his son Thomas G Booth took over the business.
The only info I have is through the potteries web site and 1871 census. Thomas was born in Dihhorn Stafford
His children were Thomas G Booth Fredrick Booth Letitia Booth
Rachel Booth
Jennina Booth
Phoebe Booth - All born in Tunstall. We are trying to find if there is a connection to the Thomas booth in Hanley B 1800 by tracing back as far as we can. Thanks in advance for all the kind help in advance.

The Thomas booth at 13 Piccadily street may possibly be the one we are looking for His wife was Sarah (maiden unk) She was the same age as thomas.
Their son Thomas Gimbert was born the end of 1850 so that age is right if that was the 1851 census you were refering to.
The age you have for thomas sr is about right. His wife is listed as Sarah in 1871 and he had a daughter Letitia .Your record shows Letitia as his wife but that may have been a mistake on the part of the census taker. Letitia would have been born abt 1851 if the records are to be belived.
The strongest point of reference is the son Thomas Gimbert and the name Letitia .Young Thomas Gimbert being the strongest. All were shown in 1871 as born in Tunstall except Thomas Sr and he is shown as Dilhorn.
It was written some place that Thomas sr may have been a coal miner at some point in his life,but he would have been a pottery maker in 1851 .
This is a close match but not a positive one yet .Do they list the occupation of Thomas Sr??
Thanks ever so much Richard
