Dea, sorry to confuse you ,I meant Jane married to the William Mitchell that i beieve to be the father of the children

Jess, I have found a William Mitchel est. birth 1818,born Loning Berkshire, married to a Ann Mitchel est.birth 1824 living in Newington Surrey. Is that any help? Gloria

Jess, There is Jane Mitchell married to a David Mitchell on the 1861 census living in Bray. Two youngest children are James and Jane. There are other children called Mitchell and the eldest child is called Bolton, suggesting that she was born before marriage or Jane was married previously. Don't know if these are yours or not - I know some of the facts don't add up. Kath. x

Thanks all, its one of those Pull-your -hair- out- moments! There am i happily trotting back : WILLIAM 1863, being my GGGrandfather. Cant find in 1881, pops up eventually because his mother has re-married, (she was widowed) Because i am strugling to find the marriage of Their father to jane i am losing the plot. Hoped someone would pop up with the answer to my dream/nightmare

Jess, Jane Mitchell (abt 1824) born East Garston, Berks. William Mitchell (abt 1821) born Inkpen, Berks. Living Paddington Middlesex no mention of the children though. Gloria x

Gloria definately not those above, but thanks. i have Mitchells in Bray, Berkshire, back to about 1760. i have no reason to believe they went anywhere else (until they did years later)

Jess, You say you BELIEVE the childrens father to be WILLIAM. Have you got at least one of the childrens birth certificates to confirm this? Kath. x

Jess, got two children Jane (1859) and James (1857) living with a family in Cookham. Head-- David Mitchell (1820) Wife---Jara Mitchell plus numerous other children. Perhaps it was those other two and they left the children with this family for the day!!! Gloria

I thought his father was William (wrong death found obviously, tied with the remarriage nicely -poo-) maybe it was David.... Jess x... head scratching.... kathleen - i haven't - up till now, although naughty I know, the family bible has been the font of all knowlege. My father is also pretty astute and ...well, no excuse really

Jess, I've got the image of the David and Jane with children that I found if you want to see it. Kath. x

What do you think Caroline Botton abt 1847 Bray, Berkshire, England Daughter Bray Berkshire <--daughter born prior (illig, or ...) Alice Mitchell abt 1849 Bray, Berkshire, England Daughter Bray Berkshire David Mitchell abt 1820 Winkfield, Berkshire, England Head Bray Berkshire <--FATHER George Mitchell abt 1855 Bray, Berkshire, England Son Bray Berkshire Jane Mitchell abt 1859 Bray, Berkshire, England Daughter Bray Berkshire Janes Mitchell abt 1857 Bray, Berkshire, England Son Bray Berkshire <--Satisfied this is James on image Jara Mitchell abt 1820 Caversham, Oxfordshire, England Wife Bray Berkshire <-- Think this read Jane = Mother that married Fuller John Mitchell abt 1852 Bray, Berkshire, England Son Bray Berkshire

That's the image I've saved Jess. Do you think they are likely? Seems so to me. All the older children would have been old enough to be away from home by 1871 census. You really need one of the Mitchell childrens birth certificates to be sure of the father's name. Kath. x

My 1851 tribes ..HELP ME ....HELP ME... Be objective, see what it is that i am missing!! Is It..... Jane married her 'Employer', and became step-mother to boys, then re-married again when he died..? and so the boys were neither hers nor John Fullers when cited as stepsons in 1871? Yes/NO/Someting else entirely...

anyone else want to add their two penn'orth? Note: I cant find birth records for Jane James or William in the right place at the right time. ...and even if i could and applied for the certs i am not sure if i'd know if they were right or wrong -woith what i know at the moment!! Vicious circle!!
