Detailed biography by Richard Voss in Journal of the Victorian Military Society
28810 Nov 1854: Wrote letter to his grandmother [Hannah FRANKLIN] on the death of his grandfather John BOOTH. Refers therein to seeing sister Beatrice and brother Willingham and also Thomas [presummably his 1C Thomas BOOTH (c)].
2895 April 1858: Wrote letter from Barbados to his aunt.
290 Refers to seeing Thomas when he gets back to England. [Two candidate aunts: Elizabeth S M RICHARDSON and Mary Ann PACEY, wife of his uncle Thomas W BOOTH. Both had sons by name of Thomas. In his letter of 1854 his reference to Thomas was clearly Thomas BOOTH (c), to whom he was probably close and therefore AJRV concludes this likely Mary Ann PACEY.]
