my grandmother's family were blacksmiths in sussex during the whole of the 19th century and up to the 1960s in Faygate, where the smithy still stands. There were
several John Mitchell's.My great grandfather was James Mitchell who died in, I think 1938 at Horsham.The family has tales of horse shoeing competitions over many years.
