Title: 1861 Census Look-up - Dorset Area - Mitchell family
Post by: jewell on Sunday 24 October 04 17:31 BST (UK)

If any one could look up the 1861 Census for the following it would be appreciated:

William Henry Mitchell born Bridport, Dorset, approx. 1854.  His father was John Mitchell.

By 1881, William H. Mitchell was residing in Bristol but I am presuming he was still residing in his birth location for the 1861 Census return.

Thanks a bundle...Jewell

Hi,

This is an old post, but I thought I'd post what I've found:

It looks like they were living in Quebec Place, Melcome Regis.

John Mitchell, Head, 46, Lath Render (?) born Somerset Taunton
Jane Mitchell, Wife, 27, born Dorset Bridport
George Mitchell, Son, 14, Lath Render (?) born Dorset Bridport
James Mitchell, Son, 10, Scholar, born Dorset Bridport
William Mitchell, Son, 6, Scholar, born Dorset Bridport

Ref: RG9/1350
Folio: 63
Page: 33

I hope that this is the right family!


Regards,
Chui
