Title: 1891/1901 MITCHELL
Post by: Bill749 on Friday 19 October 12 21:08 BST (UK)

Could some kind soul please check the census for 1891/1901 for me? 

I am trying to sort out the children of Joseph MITCHELL (born Newcastle 1867) and Mary Elizabeth (nee PURDY, born Newcastle 1871).  They were married in Lanchester in June 1890.  Their known children, born before 1901, include Jessie, Robert, Margaret and Joseph.  I know from the 1911 census that they had 3 children who had died, but I'm having trouble reconciling the names provided by my late mother-in-law with the birth & death records.

Any help gratefully received!

TIA
Bill

Thanks - Charlotte must have been one of the 3 that had died before 1911.

Looks like Thomas also died

I now have 10 of the 11 children born before 1911 confirmed!  The last one must have been born and died between the census years, so will be difficult to find.

Thanks for the help
