I'm posting just in case anyone with connections to the same MITCHELL family as mine read this - please get in touch! My grandfather Robert MITCHELL seems to have separated from his family at an early age, so I'd be thrilled if I could find any ancestors of his siblings - all I know about his family is from censuses and research. The family moved down from the Oakworth area in Bingley/Keighley (working in Providence and Vale Mill) to Bradford sometime close to 1860. In particular I'd be thrilled to hear from anyone descended from any of: Jane(y) MITCHELL born 1889 probably in Manningham, Bradford (identified I think wrongly on the 1861 census as Fanny) Florence MITCHELL born 1891 probably in Manningham, Bradford George MITCHELL born 1900 in Listerhills, Bradford My own grandfather was a sibling of the above: Robert MITCHELL born 1898, Bradford Ancestors: James MITCHELL m Martha HAIGH in 1807 in Oakworth/Bingley Children (at least): Mary Ann b 1808, Sarah b abt 1811, John b 1814, Martha b abt 1826, James b 1826, Maria(h) b 1824, Abraham b 1830, Betty b 1828 -> John MITCHELL b 1814 m bef 1837 to Ann MURGATROYD b abt 1816, d before 1850 in Oakworth/Bingley/Keighley Children: Eli b 1837, Hannah b 1839, James b 1842, John b 1844, Martha b 1847 Then m Jemima SERJEANTSON b 1811 (widowed, maiden name CHESTER) Children: Abraham b 1852, Catherine 1855 -> John MITCHELL b 1844 Bingley/Keighley m Jane TARBOTTON(M) Children: Charles b 1867 -> Charles MITCHELL b 1867 m Margeret PETTY b 1866 in Belfast, m in Bradford Children: Jane(y) b 1889, Florence b 1891, Robert b 1898, George b 1900 I'd welcome any even possible connections from anyone to this family, Paul Mitchell
