John Booth 1786- ?

1786. A John Booth was baptised to Moses & Elizabeth Booth in Smallwood on 8/10/1786 - likely to be he. Smallwood, Astbury, Church Lawton & Odd Rode all within 3 miles of each other

1809, John Booth married Elisabeth Owen on 8/10/1829 in Astbury . John of Astbury, Elisabeth of Sandbach parish

Elizabeth & John had the following 7 children baptised 1810-1822 in Church Lawton: James 18/11/1810; Thomas 12/7/1812; John 25/12/1814; Sarah 25/2/1816; George 10/5/1818; Hannah 10/9/1820; Timothy 7/4/1822 - he being baptised just to John widower. On all these baptisms John is given as a labourer, & all except the 1st have an address of Odd Rode

1822. Elizabeth Booth, 34, wife of John, labourer, of Odd Rode, was buried 13/3/1822 in Astbury. She almost certainly died due to the birth of her last son, Timothy, who was baptised a month later

Thus John was left a widower with 7 children ranging in age from 0 - 12. He likely married again and could possibly be the farmer, born Odd Rode, aged 61, with wife Mary ,born Astbury, living Haslington, only 5 m away, in 1851C
