Find Ancestors

Thanks everyone for all this info - I've just come in from work and seen this lot !!!!!!! I think i'll go back out again!!!!! I need to organise all this info - when i tell my dad he probably wish he hadn't gone looking. He was adopted at birth and this is his natural family so it is important to him. If i find anything new i'll post here THANK YOU Karen

do they crop up in the Queen Vic of Albert Sq too? LMAO

There is no such thing as a mini Mitchell tree - believe you me the beggars get everywhere - and they breed like bl**dy rabbits. Mine occupy half of Berkshire in 1861 !! jess x

LOL Jess....... deep breaths hun I think it would be best now to wait for some feed back from karen........ she has a fair amount of info here to investigate etc and digest!! We go any further ans we'll have spoilt the fun and done her a mini Mitchell tree LOL well done everybody Much happiness Debi

I have completely lost the plot here - anyone know other than those highlighted a pawnbrokers which are the right families...?

ohhhhh abit of juicy scandal Anyway........... J W's Birth??? Births Mar 1867 Mitchell Frederick William F Merthyr T. 11a 417

Rose found that 1861 entry born in Clerkenwell, Jamaica!! On the actual page there's no Jamaica..... George Higgs abt 1835 Dunstable, Bedfordshire, England Boarder Aylesbury Buckinghamshire Frederick Mitchell abt 1845 Clerkenwell, Jamaica Son Aylesbury Buckinghamshire Joseph Mitchell abt 1818 Bermondsey, Surrey, England Head Aylesbury Buckinghamshire Mum isn't at home, but dad is recorded as Married. I wonder if this is the parents marriage? Name: ROSIER, Margaret Record Type: Marriages Quarter: December Year: 1838 District: West London County: London Middlesex Volume: 2 Page: 239 One possible spouse is Joseph Mitchell. Merry

THAT FRED,K MATCHELL 1871 I FOUND IS HIM - HE'S A PAWNBROKER. ADDRESS 88 89 & 90 CARDIFF RD HIS 13 YEAR OLD bROTHER IN LAW IS HIS ASSITANT what has he done with the family i wonder?

so why the do-dah cant i find them in aberdare in 1871? Incognito maye- hiding from his creditors?

A couple of things that may help whilst we all wait for the return of Karen (well, I only just arrived so I've not been waiting lol!!) 1) This is the only GRO entry on Ancestry with Rosier Mitchell as part of the name: Name: Mitchell, Annie Rosier Record Type: Marriages Quarter: December Year: 1893 District: Hackney County: Greater London London Middlesex Volume: 1b Page: 955 2) Much better than the above (though not for Frederick Rosier Mitchell) is that there's a report in The Times newspaper about his fraudulent bancruptcy (sorry Karen!): March 18th 1872. Swansea Circuit. Prior to the case he was a pawnbroker and general dealer in Aberdare. He was in court for not dealing fairly with his creditors. He was found guilty. Karen. I can send you a copy of the article if you PM me with your email address...... The newspaper spells his first name without the ''K'', by the way....... Merry

Which leads me to think this F R and his Dad in 1861: George Higgs abt 1835 Dunstable, Bedfordshire, England Boarder Aylesbury Buckinghamshire Frederick Mitchell abt 1845 Clerkenwell, Jamaica Son Aylesbury Buckinghamshire Joseph Mitchell abt 1818 Bermondsey, Surrey, England Head Aylesbury Buckinghamshire Living in the Market Sq of Aylesbury......... Joseph is a Pawnbroker and Frederick his assistant Gawd knows where the transcription of JAMAICA came from as it clearly says JAMES

THUS here is FR in 1901 Annie Mitchell abt 1847 Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England Wife Finchley Middlesex Beatrice Mitchell abt 1885 Stoke Newington, London, England Daughter Finchley Middlesex Frederick Mitchell abt 1845 Clerkenwell, London, England Head Finchley Middlesex Margaret Mitchell abt 1878 Bradwell, Buckinghamshire, England Daughter Finchley Middlesex Roland Mitchell abt 1882 Bradwell, Buckinghamshire, England Son Finchley Middlesex Henrietta Welch abt 1878 Hoxton, London, England Servant Finchley Middlesex PLUS he is recorded as LIVING ON HIS OWN MEANS qualifying him to be a Gentleman!!!

Is this FW in 1901: Name: Frederick Mitchell Age: 34 Estimated birth year: abt 1867 Relation: Soldier Household: View other family members Gender: Male Where born: Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales Civil parish: Little Warley Ecclesiatical parish: Little Warley St Peter County/Island: Essex Country: England Source information: RG13/1665 Registration district: Billericay Sub-registration district: Brentwood ED, institution, or vessel: Warley Barracks Folio: 95 Page: 17 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 1 If soooooooooo then the info Rose found on the 1881 census is FR !!

I'm leaving this one now............till Karen gives us some feedback..... Rose

1901 census JUST INCASE IT HELPS: Ethel Mitchell abt 1893 Colchester, Essex, England Daughter Colchester Essex Frederick Mitchell abt 1896 Leyton, Essex, England Son Colchester Essex Gertrude Mitchell abt 1897 Leyton, Essex, England Daughter Colchester Essex Maria Mitchell abt 1871 Colchester, Essex, England Head Colchester Essex

Looks like Dec QTR 1891 - Rats!!That is the marriage, not the birth

Karen Where is it that F W was born? Do you have his BC? If so Mothers name?

Karen Could we have some feedback about the various census records posted on here...........so we know if we have the right people. No point following through if not. Rose

so we now have Wales, Jamaca and Bermuda...!! Colchester we want isn't it? Lol
