Title: Searching for birth of Thomas Michel b 1783 Cranborne (Crantown??)
Post by: sussexgirl on Wednesday 08 March 23 09:40 GMT (UK)

Hi everyone, I hope you can help/give me some pointers. 
I’m looking for the birth of Thomas Michel in 1783.  In 1851, 1861 and on his death certificate it is written as Crantown Dorset but I am thinking it could be Cranborne as I can’t find a Crantown.
Thanks, Sussexgirl.

The image does look like Cranbourn - I wonder if he was baptised at the neighbouring Wimborne St Giles

Thomas Mitchel
Baptism:    27 Oct 1782   Wimborne St Giles, Dorset, England
Father:    Thomas Mitchel
Mother:    Hannah Mitchel

Added - Should have said the surname appears to be written as Mitchel on the 1851/61 census in Kent?

Thanks for pointing this out Kay.  I’m searching for a friend and have asked him to check what info and where he got it from.  This family looks very likely
