_Captain Booth of Stockport_ (Vol. vi., p. 340.).--As yet, no reply to this
Query has been elicited; but as it is a subject of some interest to both
Lancashire and Cheshire men, I should like to ascertain from JAYTEE in what
collection he met with the MS. copy of Captain Booth's _Ordinary of Arms_?
Its existence does not appear to have been known to any of our Cheshire or
Lancashire historians; for in none of their works do I find any mention of
such an individual as Capt. Booth of Stockport. Sir Peter Leycester, in his
_Antiquities of Bucklow Hundred_, Cheshire, repeatedly acknowledges the
assistance rendered him by John Booth of Twanbow's _Book of Pedigrees_; but
this gentleman appears merely to have collected for Cheshire, and not for
Lancashire. Sir George Booth, afterwards Lord Delamere, is the only
_Captain_ Booth I have met with in my limited sphere of historical
research; and I am not aware that he ever indulged much in genealogical
study.
