    3. G'day Listers, I would like to know if this place or address still exists on the 1881 census.

Thomas MITCHELL Children : Ann 1812 Elizabeth 1815 Joshua 1818 John 1821 Sarah 1823 Abraham 1825 Martha 1827 Mary 1829 Joseph 1831 married Phebe Sutcliff - sons married Bottomley sisters Lydia 1834 Here is a little more information that may assist someone to help me.. Thomas had a large family and it was three of his sons, Joshua, Abraham and Joseph, who carried on the business as Mitchell Brothers, one of the largest manufacturers of mohair cloths. The family, who attended Annesley Chapel in Little Horton Lane, all lived in Burnett Fields, but in 1864 Abraham and Joseph built two large houses called The Parks in Rooley Lane. This chapel didn't perform baptisms or marriages as they used Bradford P.C. Kind regards Lori Mitchell
