The tea pot is engraved with the following inscription: Presented to Mr and Mrs Nathan Mitchell from the Hawkesbury Methodist Church 1909. Hi Eusebeia, The Windsor Library has a collection of Family Research Folders that have been donated by people who are willing to share their research. These folders are not for loan and can only be accessed at the library. Some hold only a little and some can be a wealth of information (I recently got a huge amount of newspaper clippings etc. on one of my rellies). There are a few there concerning the Mitchells of the Hawkesbury area - TITLE : Ben Mitchell (1886-1985) [Library ref. #RLP MIT] TITLE : John and Jane Mitchell [Library ref. #RLP MIT] TITLE : Mitchell and Horton Family Research [Library ref. #RLP MIT] TITLE : Mitchell Family Research [Library ref. #RLP MIT TITLE : Mitchell Park [Library ref. #RLP MIT] TITLE : Mitchell [Library ref. #RLP MIT] The library can be found on http://www.hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au/library.html and you could click onto "Ask a Librarian" (left hand menu) and fill out the appropriate form, or perhaps someone may be kind enough to have a look for you if they are going into the library. Hope this helps. Cheers, Maureen (Melbourne)
