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.

Hello Jan Thank you for your reply. I'll certainly keep your John in mind if I get any further back with Charles. BTW - Ancestry shows 3 submitted trees with John.

Hi Jan, I'm sure you know already, but just in case, Scowcroft is also known by the variant Scholcroft as well as others. 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.

Jan Buker writes <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.> > Hi Jan, Turton Local History published a book last year entitled Samuel Scowcroft, A Bradshaw Man 1838-1914, who was a diarist. This is what it says: Quote ... there have been many Scowcrofts in Bradshaw and Harwood over the centuries, a number of them being notable figures in local society, including farmers, publicans, colliery owners and managers. Samuel was descended from John Scowcroft, his grandfather, who was born at Ruins, Harwood on the 21st December 1777 and baptized at Bolton Parish Church on the 15th February 1778. He was described as a weaver when he married Martha Haslam on the 20th July 1800 at Bolton Parish Church. They had eleven children and lived as tenant farmers at Springside Farm, Harwood in 1841, later moving to Scowcroft Houses, Ruins Lane, Harwood in 1851. By 1861 they lived at Middle of the Moor Harwood. John was a trustee of Harwood Wesleyan School when teetotalism came to Harwood on the 29th May 1835. The first meeting of the Harwood Temperance Society was held at Harwood Wesleyan School and John was the first person to sign the pledge, becoming a founder member of the Society. In 1837 John was the first elected Guardian of the Poor for Bradshaw Township. He was a very strict and religious person all his life and when he appeared in the Harwood Wesleyan School and thumped his stick on the floor there was an immediate silence and complete order. John's eldest son Samuel was the father of Samuel the diarist. Samuel married Jane Bolton of Harwood at Bolton Parish Church on the 18th July 1817 when they were 20 and 17 respectively. Samuel and Jane had six children, John born 1818, Sophia 1822, Richard 1827, Sarah 1831, Martha 1834 who died as a young child, and Samuel Junior born 15th September 1838. The youngest son became the author of the diaries which he kept for nearly 50 years. unquote Could it be that your Sarah was a member of this family?
