Is there any way of finding out who made the Contribution about Felix Booth on 20 th October, 2011 ? I am interested to know more about Felix Booth and why someone so recently made this contribution. My name is Stephen John Felix Booth
He was transported for attempting to extort money from his namesake - the ginmaker Sir Felix Booth. He threatened to write and then did write letters accusing the baronet of "infamous offences." Felix was said to be the godson of Sir Felix but he may have been his illegitimate son.
