Mark Booth & Ann Hamer's son Augustus
My great-grandfather was Augustus Mark Booth.I don't know where he came from.The story is that he was from England and was in the Merchant Navy.He supposedly jumped ship in Canada and came to NY state where he met my great-grandmother Delia Arshambeau in Westport.They married in Burlington, VT in 1878.The marriage certificate said he was married before but I don't know to whom.They had one son George Alfred Booth.They then moved to Holyoke, MA.Soon after Augustus left the family in Holyoke and moved to CT it is thought.Augustus died in 1933 in New Haven, CT.His was born around 1846.I found a Mark Booth and Ann Hamer who were married in Lancashire, England on December 1, 1844.This could be his parents.Does anybody out there have any information or connection to these people or know of his whereabouts in the early 1900's?
