I was reading on RC about Tony Booth and daughter Cherie Blair being related to John Wilkes Booth surely this is not true?

I'm often quite sceptical about entries on wikipedia, often think somebody jumps on something and posts what they think rather than the truth.

I'm moving this over to "Liverpool" rather than Off Topic, as it starts there, and hope some legitimate research shows up.
