Thank you very much Leisha, I will be checking out that website. No, I wasn't aware of any alternate spelling so I really appreciate you pointing that out to me.

I have a Sarah Scholcroft who married Abraham Leach. My families in the area moved from farm to farm and all over the place, from Holcombe to Shuttleworth to Quarlton to Harwood and Affetside. They always rented at that point though. When they owned, they finally settled. If your family were born in Harwood Lea, then you should get the new book published by Turton Local History Society - Harwood, The Early Years, as well as an earlier publication on Harwood Hill Farms and Riding Gate, though I don't see either listed on their website. You'll need to figure out the monetary exchange though (assume you're in the US) unless TLHS has changed their policy regarding payment. Here's the website for further information: http://northturton.com/edgworth/history_society.html<http://northturton.com/ edgworth/history_society.html> Hope that helps, Leisha Central Penna ----- Original Message ----- From: Jan Buker<mailto:jcbuker@bukerfamily.org> To: ENG-LAN-BOLTON-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:ENG-LAN-BOLTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 4:04 PM Subject: RE: [ENG-LAN-BOLTON] BOOTH - FIELDING - ORRELL Hi Annie I am very interested in your Booth's. I am trying to get my husband's Booth line further back and the ancestor we have with definitive information is John Booth, b. 11 Dec 1742 in Edgeworth, Gloucestershire, England, d. Bet. 1764 - 1826 in England m. 17 Apr 1759, Lancashire, England Alice Viccars, b. Bet. 1715 - 1742, Bolton le Moors Parish, Lancashire, England, d. Bet. 1764 - 1832 in England Children: Thomas Richard Alice Betty Margaret John S., b. 1773, Bolton le Moors Parish, Lancashire, England, d. 09 Sep 1838, Lee County, Iowa (our line) m. 04 Jan 1802, Bolton, Lancashire, England Sarah Scowcroft, b. 12 Nov 1782, Lancashire, England, d. 02 Sep 1847, Farmington, Van Buren, Iowa Children: Mary, John, Alice I, Sarah I, Sarah II, Richard, Elizabeth, Luke, Robert, Alice II, Esquire (all born in Harwood Lea, Bolton, Lancashire, England) If anyone has information on this family and collateral lines it would be greatly appreciated. I believe there were Scowcrofts still in Harwood in the 1960's and Booth's around the 1920's.
