Hello everyone, this is my first post though I've often read the boards - hope someone can help.

My great-great-grandfather, Austin Boothby, was born in London in 1820. I know that his father was called William. The only William Boothby I have been able to find of the right age is a Sir William Boothby on the 1841 census. Unfortunately he appears to be at a gentlemen's club or something at the time of the census and I cannot confirm any of his family's names.

Now, whilst I doubt he is my ancestor, it would be nice to check it out! I assume that if he's a "Sir" there must be a record of him somewhere - can someone point me in the right direction? A google has been fruitless thus far.

Thanks in advance,

Susan
