hi dee x no he left her and 5 children about sometime after january 1926 some thouht for canada.

hi, victoria i have since found out george left some time after jan. 1926 it is thought he went to canada.

update, george left his family in jan. 1926 there was another woman but she later returned to her husband. it was thought at the time he went to canada,some one named george booth was contacted in canada by the salvation army but he said it was not him, so it was not persued.

ref. george and leah i have a photograph with 1st born george william born 1912 george snr. was in uniform so the photo was about 1915/16.

Hi,

Did his wife go with him?

hi, sue nearly all details correct there was no sister called leah that was his wife will check. the st. address .george and amelia was 355 angelina st aston birmingham. kate bromley and edie morris mean nothing to me. i will investigate.angelina st is still there though only half the size and the houses are all post ww2.

george booth 1892 may have worked in a brass foundry at some point, as there were many in birmingham then,but he was a coal merchant with his own horse and cart, and he did very well.

yes can confirm first born george william he married ivy cox in 1937 there were no children they were very close.

yes those details are correct.

yes, he married leah cotterill at birmingham parrish church onthe 4th august 1912.

This looks like George with his siblings and parents,funny his sister is called Leah and he married a Leah.
