Judy, this was an easy one. Portumna RC parish consists of Kilmalinoge and Lickmolassy civil parishes, in Portumna PLU. The Griffith's index on failteromhat.com shows only one Mitchell in either parish, Laurence in Lickmolassy, Coolpowra townland. Diane

Thank you Diane, I know of the Mitchells in Lickmolassy and could not make a connection there. I will try Coolpowra townland. My Mitchells were in the US before the 1864 Griffiths Eval. they were here in 1851 and perhaps before. John Mitchells first wife, Bridget is buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Kingsotn, NY date on the stone is August 1851.
