Henry Booth of Sheffield (b about 1805) married Mary (Ann?) Kershaw who was born in Wakefield in 1807. Mary was the elder sister of my great great grandfather Henry Kershaw. They lived in the Netherthorpe area. They had 3 (at least) children, Mary Ann b. 1829, George b. 1830 and Robert b. 1840 (Mary's father was Robert). Mary Ann, George and Robert lived with their grandmother (Jane Kershaw) in 1851. Mary Ann was a baker and the boys were scissor grinders. It would appear that Mary Ann did not marry (or married late in life). The boys married and had their own families.
