Booth baronets of Allerton Beeches (1916)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Booth baronetcy, of Allerton Beeches in the City of Liverpool,[1] was created in the baronetage of the United Kingdom on 24 January 1916 for Sir Alfred Allen Booth, a director of Alfred Booth and Company and chairman of the Cunard Steamship Company.[2] The 1st baronet received a new grant of arms upon being created a baronet during the First World War, later establishing his family's descent from the Booths of Twemlow, Cheshire, cadets of the Booths of Dunham Massey.[3]
As of 2026 the title is held by his grandson, Sir Douglas Booth, who succeeded his father in 1960 as 3rd baronet. A television and film writer, Doug Booth lives in the United States with his wife and two daughters.[4]
