Denbighshire Lookup Requests / Re: Sarah Booth of Llangollen 1800s

Hi Christine,

His death certificate states cause of death General tuberculosis and acute meningitis PM so not sure about that.

I had wondered if his mother had died and William farmed out to relatives so will be interesting to read about the school.  I still haven't found Sarah's death.  It's bad luck if it's been mis transcribed, we'll never know what happened to her.

Hi Christine

I suppose we are half cousins ?   I vaguely remember going to your parent's wedding.

I started FH back in the early 1990's before anything was on line.   Lovely to hear from you. You probably know Alfred and Esther Booth had 10 children.   I am in regular contact with 3 of my cousins.
Are you on any other websites ?  Good luck, there is such a lot of information on the internet now.

Best wishes
Pat

Hi Christine,

I knew your dad and  Uncle Alf.   It was quite shocking what happened to the young T.B.B. perhaps you know the story.   He was struck on the head by a schoolteacher and died the next day.  We have newspaper cuttings about it.  Think what would happen today !   

I'd contacted Findagrave querying if Sarah was buried there and gave some information.  They didn't reply simply put  her information on the site.    They do a lot of good work but I wasn't happy.    Long story but I was given contact details of the Tonge cemetery office by someone and a member of staff  checked the records and told me she isn't there. 

I too had wondered if William had been taken in by the family, perhaps Sarah had died but have never found a record.   

My father was Alec, Alf's brother.   Alf used to turn up at our house and take us out in his little black car - quite something then as not many people had them.

Hi Christine,

I live in Beverley.

I naively thought because Sarah came from Llangollen I'd find her amongst all the Sarah Booth's. I would love to know what happened to cause William to move across to Hull.   After all the years of looking for her haven't found any Edwards on any FH group looking for her too.

Regards
Pat

Christine,

Sorry forgot to ask you about the record of William Booth being at a boarding school.  Is this Manchester please ?

Hi, Had some difficulty replying - so long since I've been on the site.   I'm afraid the entry in the Tonge graveyard isn't correct.   A few years ago I sent her details to Findagrave querying if she was on the site and the next thing I knew they'd put it on the site.  I tried to inform them it wasn't correct, as by then I'd spoken to someone in the records, but they didn't reply.

I have most of the records you have except Sarah and John had 4 children, Mary Ann, Sarah Jane, Thomas and John.  I know what happened to William if you need the information.  My family also had 3 further Thomas Bentley Booths.  Did your last one die in 1985 as I wonder if we're speaking about the same people ?      I've never found when Sarah died or Thomas Booth her father in law.

Thomas and Sarah marry in 1853 in Manchester.

In 1854 her son William is born, they are living at no. 13 Minshull Street, Manchester.    After that she doesn't appear on any another record.
