His parents were James Mitchell and Isobel Baillie. John is 74 in the 1851 census. His son William Mitchell married Isabella Robertson and had adaughter Isabella Mitchell. Isabella Mitchell had a daughter, Jane Brown in 1857 to a William Brown. I do not have all the details yet. I can't trace William Brown or Isabella mitchell after 1861. They did not marry as far as I know. Jane was brought up by her grandparents John and Jean Brown. Jane is my grandmother. I have been trying to trace this family for some time. Perhaps this is the same family you are looking for.
