Boothby baronets of Broadlow Ash (1660)

The Boothby baronetcy, of Broadlow Ash in the County of Derby, was created in the Baronetage of England on 13 July 1660 for William Boothby, subsequently High Sheriff of Derbyshire from 1661 to 1662. During the Stuart Restoration of 1660, Boothby successfully petitioned for the creation, on the grounds of a failed creation in 1644, for his father (see below).

The 1st Baronet married, as his second wife, Hill, daughter of Sir William Brooke, hence the common family name Brooke. Sir William Brooke was heir to the barony of Cobham through his mother, but did not succeed to the peerage because the peerages were under attainder. On his death, the peerage fell into abeyance among his four daughters. Boothby was succeeded by his grandson Henry (son of his deceased son Francis from his first marriage to Frances Milward of Snitterton Hall).

The Boothbys left Broadlow Ash when the 1st Baronet purchased Ashbourne Hall from Sir Aston Cockayne, in about 1671.
