Isaac Little is my great grandfather's oldest brother. He was born in 1835 In Wetheral, Cumberland England, son of Robert and Annie (Henderson) Little. I have been able to trace Isaac up to his death in 1900.
What I am trying to do is to confirm whether Mary Ann Mitcheson, wife of Richard Mitcheson is the sister to Isaac and my great grandfather, Thomas Little. According to the 1881 census, her place of birth and year is close to that of Mary Ann Little, who by the way was not living with her widowed mother Ann and other siblings in 1861.
My problem is I for the life of me can not find Richard and/or Mary anywhere--1891, 1901 census, a marriage record. It appears that they just vanished off the continent of England.
I was able to find several possible birth records for the children; Robert and Mary Mitcheson. Although the 1881 census stated the place of birth for Robert was Cotehill, Cumberland, the only birth records I could find for a Robert Mitcheson around 1867 were in Northumberland (I know this can happen, it happens a lot). On the actual census it states Mary's place of birth as Prudhoe, Northumberland--what district is that in?
I'm open to any suggestions or another pair of eyes on this...there might be just something I'm not seeing.
Thank you.
Joan
