_Booth Family._--Can any of your Lancashire correspondents afford
information bearing on the families of Booth of Salford, and Lightbown of
Manchester? Is any pedigree extant of either of these families, and what
arms did they bear? Humphrey Booth founded, I believe, a church in Salford
about the year 1634, the patronage of which still remains, as it might
seem, in the family, the _Clergy List_ describing it as in the gift of Sir
R. G. Booth.
There is a Booth Hall in Blackley, a small village lying by the road side,
between Manchester and Middleton; and from the _inquisitio post mortem_ of
Humphrey Booth, 12 Car. I., it appears that he died seised of lands in
Blackley as well as Salford.
Is there any evidence to connect him with this hall, as the place of his
residence?
