Notes for John Booth
We have concluded that he was born in the NW part of Northern (English) Ireland. We came to this conclusion largely from the Census records of his son John D. Booth who consistently indicates that he and his parents were born in Ireland, NW Ireland, or Ir. English.
In addition, John Booth’s naturalization record indicates he was from Ireland.
There are some sources that indicate that he was born in Stockport England (1851 Census), England (1860 Census), Missouri (one 1870 Census) and England (a second 1870 Census). We tend to think that he reported England as his place of birth as he considered himself English (born and lived in North Ireland) and there was stigma against being identified as Irish.
As his son John D. was born in Ireland in 1849, and the family appears in an 1851 census, it frames the timeframe that they moved from North Ireland to England as 1849 - 1851. The potato famine (1845-1852) was the likely cause of their move back to England.
