Hi Molly
I picked up your posting on the internet and it has finally prompted me to join RootsChat.
My wifes tree is interlinked with yours. Her ancestor was Marthas sister Mary.
Both seem to have had illegitimate children. Marys was Thomas born 1845 who seems to have been brought up by his grandparents-he is on their census returns for 1851/61 and names his father on his marriage as Thomas -his grandfathers name.I have visited the house where Thomas Booth and his wife Elizabeth lived since at least 1841(Hares Clough)which has now been incorporated into a larger property along with the 2 adjacent cottages-I have some photographs.Mary doesn't seem to have married and is on various censuses between 1851-1881 as a servant or housekeeper. Stoak Hall where she was last recorded still exists and is now a pub.
Elizabeth(formerly Maddock)seems to be on a number of census returns at Beauty Bank which is adjacent to Hares Clough although there are slight inconsistencies with her age.
The final entry is at the age of 101 in 1881.There was also a burial of Elizabeth Booth aged 103 in Whitegate with (strangely) an obituary in a Dundee newspaper which I have yet to obtain
Hope this is of some use
