I can find plenty of Booths China pieces for sale, but NONE that are referenced "Romany". This place belonged to my Mother, but I have no idea how old it is (was it my Grandmother's? HER Grandmother's??). Also, there doesn't seem to be much information on the Booths Company. I'd be curious about finding matches for this plate, a best guess as to it's age, and history on the company. Thanks very much.

Just to show how many patterns with names and #'s. I'm sorry I gave up searching for yours - I was getting cross eyed:

And - a Google image search - again so many patterns:

I don't know what else to suggest, you might be able to get in touch with someone at the book publishers who may be able to help. If nothing else it proves there must be a Romany piece of Booths china out there.
