Seeking info on my G-G-Grandmother Arabella "Annabella" Mitchell (born McLeod) (b.1871-d.?) She married Alfred Mitchell June 9 1890 in Victoria Australia at the residence of John Mitchell, witnesses John Mitchell and Annie MacKay (Arabellas Cousin)
Arabella and Alfred Mitchell had two children together who were adopted out to Christina Annie McInnes (born Ross) and John Alexander McInnes in NZ after their marriage dissolved. The children were; my great grandfather Leslie Angus MITCHELL McInnes (b.1894 Wagga Wagga Australia - d.1979 whangarei) and Maud Anabella MITCHELL McInnes (b. 1986 Glenfell, NSW, Australia)
There is a story that Arabella visited my G-Grandfather Leslie while he was in the army at trentham, he would never speak about this visit or anything about his birth mother so the family has no idea where Arabella ended up, if she had any more children or where she is buried.
Leslie's son Ken McInnes' wife Joan was a genealogist and searched many years for info on Arabella wihout much luck, my Aunty has carried on the search and now me. I will attach below Arabellas direct family as I know it;
Mother: Arabella McLeod (Born Matheson) b.1848 d.1872 (so Arabella was very very young when her mother died)
Father: John McAllister McLeod b.1836 Nova Scotia d.1905 Kauri, NZ
sisters (all born McLeod) : Jane Dawson, Annie Finlayson, Margaret "meg" Andre
Brother: Alexander McLeod
Any leads will be hugely appreciated ❤️
Regards, Jessie McInnes
