Title: Mitchell lineage in Manor Hamilton, County Leitrim
Post by: fmitch1956 on Friday 14 August 20 21:22 BST (UK)
Good day.  I'm searching for my Mitchell family line (live in US) that dates back to mid-1800's. I show John Mitchell and Ann Bradley married living in Manorhamilton.  At the very least, they had two sons: Patrick (perhaps born in 1862) and Richard, born 3/1/1868.  Both immigrated to the US in the late 1800's.  Interested in any extended Mitchell family members still living the area.  Thank you

Here's Richard's birth record. He was born on 9th May at Lisnabrack townland.   MMN Bradley

Here's the death of Richard's father, John in 1913 aged 96 years. His son, Michael was the informant.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1914/05311/4477558.pdf

.....and the death of Richard's mother Sarah (she maybe was Sarah Anne) in 1922. Again Michael, her son was the informant.

Edited to add: These are NOT the parents of Patrick and Richard. Sarah's maiden name was Feeley.
Edited to add 2: John is their father, but Sarah is NOT their mother

This is the townland of Lisnabrack on GeoHive (from OSi).

You can zoom in and out. It is NNW of the town of Manorhamilton.

... At the very least, they had two sons: Patrick (perhaps born in 1862) and Richard, born 3/1/1868 ...

Son Patrick was baptised in Killasnet RC parish on 18 February 1860 (left page, 4th entry down):
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634861#page/65/mode/1up

Also, a daughter Catherine was baptised for the couple some time from 1-5 April 1862 (top of left page):
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634861#page/91/mode/1up

And a son John Mitchell was registered as born 24 February 1865:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1865/03585/2321566.pdf

Son John was baptised on 26 February 1865 (left page, about 13 lines down):
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634861#page/127/mode/1up

Son Richard's civil birth registration (posted at Reply #1) looks like a late one, for he was baptised on March 1st 1868 (left page, 7th entry up from bottom):
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634861#page/150/mode/1up

As per reply #2, Father John is now likely to be the correct one.

Is this the death of Anne (wife No 1) in 1870, and he marries Sarah Feel(e)y the following year.

Name   ANNE MITCHEL
Date of Death       1870
SR District/Reg Area   Manorhamilton
Deceased Age at Death  35,    Returns Quarter   3
Returns Volume No  12, Returns Page No  138

This death record is not yet on-line.

This looks like an earlier daughter Catherine baptised to John Mitchell and Ann Bradly on 16 December 1855 (left page, 4th line down - presumably died young):
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634861#page/30/mode/1up

And a daughter Mary baptised on 1 February 1857 (left page, top entry):

A transcript of a death record I've seen for Manorhamilton civil registration district shows that a 35 year old farmer's wife Annie Mitchell of Lisnabrack Killasnet died on 20 September 1870, the informant was John Mitchell of Lisnabrack.

... Mitchell-Feely marriage on 2 November 1871:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1871/11361/8170700.pdf


I wondered if this was a daughter Sarah born to John Mitchell and Sarah Feely at the end of 1878?

Maybe this is the Mitchell-Feely son Michael?

This might be Sarah's marriage to Terence Rooney in 1908.

Can't find her in the 1901 census.

Many thanks for all the input; very helpful.  So i have a quandry: the story strongly suggests John Mitchell (died 1913) was married to Ann Bradly and had at least two children (Patrick and Richard) before Ann died in 1870 and remarried a year later (Sarah Feely) and had several more children.  But how can I prove it was the same John Mitchell in both stories?  Many thanks,
Frank

The 1900 marriage registration identifies the name and occupation of one of his parents:

This enquiry doesn’t appear to have anything to do with Co Leitrim. You should ask a moderator to move it to the Co Antrim board.

Here’s Robert’s marriage certificate. They married in Broughshane 2nd Presbyterian church. His townland was Glenhugh and his father was Henry a farmer.

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1900/10341/5764800.pdf

Administration of the estate of The Reverend Robert Mitchell late of Glenhugh Ahoghill County Antrim Presbyterian Minister who died 8 June 1901 granted at Belfast to Bessie Mitchell the Widow.

Family in 1901:

One child born Robert James Mitchell born 1901 Ballymena,
 

Robert Mitchell in the 1901 census was 5 months old.
His birth (as Nelson) - 7th October 1900
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1900/01977/1761733.pdf

Rev Robert Mitchell born Co Down, so nothing to do with Leitrim.
