Title: MITCHELL - DURHAM
Post by: Jenovo on Monday 16 May 05 23:33 BST (UK)

Looking for Thomas and Sarah Mitchell, daughter Sarah and possible, Mary Ellen. On Sarah's marriage certificate  it says she was born in WINLATON circa 1875.
Can someone do a lookup earlier than 1881 - I can't see this family on this date and they may have emigrated by then.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for this reply. It is possible that these are my relatives but I would feel a lot more confident if I could see the husbands name, or if the family had been in Winlaton. A bit more searching for me to do I think!!!
