Thread: 1901 lookup please

Can anyone help me find Alice Rosetta Booth. I have her birth date as 9th May 1892 - Camberwell & her date of death as Oct 1990 - Lewisham.

I've searched but nothing seems to fit... she may have had a sister called Lou (Louise or Louisa possibly?) Sorry I haven't got any other info... I'm stuck good & proper. The family say they knew her as coming from The Old Kent Road area.

Hi Catwoman, Could her sister's name be Lucy? The original of this transcription looks more like Booth than Porth.





Name: Alice Rosette Porth Age: 8 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1893 Relation: Daughter Father's Name: Henry Wm Mother's Name: Lucy Gender: Female Where born: Camberwell, London, England



Civil Parish: Camberwell Ecclesiastical parish: St Luke Camberwell County/Island: London Country: England Registration district: Camberwell Sub-registration district: St George ED, institution, or vessel: 21 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 203 Household Members: Name Age Alice Rosette Porth 8 Edward Porth 14 Henry Wm Porth 52 Joseph Porth 19 Lucy Porth 47 Lucy Porth 19 William Porth 12

Hi Slizzy

This certainly looks like Alice. It looks more like Booth than Porth doesn't it? & all the other info seems to fit. I know who Lou married... so if the dates fit I'll know that it's definately Booth.

Thanks so much for finding this... I don't know how you do it, coz I'd been searching for ever (or that's what it seems like ! )

Hi Slizzy

I've just been in touch with Lucy Booth's daughters...now 87 & 82 years old, & yes, their mother's sister was Alice Rosetta Booth & their father was Henry Booth... so it is the right 1901 census... Thanks so much for finding it for me.

A pleasure Kirst ..... and pleased it's the right family )



Good luck with future research.
