Hi Kathleen

You are welcome to anything I have found.  As I was born a Mitchell I obviously have a lot of info on this line.  I have the St Mary's parish records so if you want any look ups let me know.  I also subscribe to Ancestry Worldwide and Find My Past.

Please can you tell me where I can find Kate Walders Social Secrity record or tell what it says

Best wishes
Wendy

Hi Kathleen

Ann Mitchell Jupp was baptised at St Mary's Parish Church, Horsham, Sussex on 19/08/1827 she was base born.  I have the parish records on disc for this church.  Her mother was Mary Jupp.

Mary Margaret Jupp baptised 07/06/1807 Slaugham, Sussex died Horsham 1893 married Francis Edward Mitchell (known as Ted) on 25/12/1831 at old church St Pancras London.  Mary was working in London and he married as Edward the name he seems to have used most of the time.

I am sure that Francis Edward Mitchell was born and baptised as Francis Edward Elwood baptised 09/10/1807 parents Matthew and Jane Elwood. I cannot find anything at all on either of them before this date.  The reason I am so sure is that he was really Elwood is that when  Francis Edward Mitchell died on 26/10/1888 his probate calls him Francis Edward Ellwood Mitchell (with two L's) his executors were two of his sons, William and James (my great grandfather). Also on his death certificate the informant is Margaret Walder, grand daughter.

On Ann Mitchell Jupps marriage Certificate to Solomon Walder it has father Francis Mitchell and occupation blacksmith and they are both struck though with a single line.  I cannot prove that he is her father but I am sure he was.   I have written info that Francis and Mary married as soon as he finished his apprenticeship.  They went on to have another eight children to my knowledge.

Hello, nice to receive just a quick reply, I thought I might be waiting for months.  I would like to give you my email address but don't know how to do this without the world seeing it.


So....you are the son of Mabel and Stanley, I have had contact with Lorna, the grand daughter of Dorothy, it was a long time ago.  I have spent 11+ years of almost constant researching my family tree and you are welcome to any of it that interests you.  I have newspaper cuttings of John and Fanny Mitchell my grandparents and articles from the local paper.  I even have one about James 1850 who was my great grandfather.

Albert was a trooper with the Lifeguaerds in the Boer War and died in 1917 of TB, but I expect you already know this.  Fanny and Albert must have moved to Yorkshire between 1902 and 1905 as they were living at 2 Talbot Terrace, Horsham in 1902 and son George was born in Yorkshire in 1905.

In 1911 they were living at 29 Goxhill Place, Leeds.

My father was William Harold Mitchell 06/12/1905 to 07/07/1948 he was only 42 when he died and I was 4.  His parents were John James and Fanny Jones she came from Somerset.  I had a younger brother Peter who died in 2007 and I have two elder sisters, Molly 1932 and Maureen 1939.
My dad was in the Coldtream Guards and I believe he was also in the Metropolitan police for a short while.  When he died he owned a garage/car showroom in Kingston.

I now live in Puerto de la Cruz in the north of Tenerife in the Canary Islands.  Sadly my lovely husband died of cancer 19 months ago. 

If you know how to send me your email address I will reply with mine.

Best wishes to you

Wendy (Mitchell) Soall

I have just found your post and I realise that it is two years old.  I hope you check back soon as I think we must be related as my grand parents were blacksmiths in Faygate for many years. 

My paternal grandfather was John James Mitchell and his father was James. Johns wife, my grand mother was Fanny Jones.

I hope you come back to this thread at some point.

Oxfordshire / Re: Pearce family

Are you still trying to track the Pearce family?  I am related to Gladys Violet Pearce, your Gilbert's sister. Gladys married Arthur Mitchell by fathers brother.  She died young in 1943 when her youngest child was only 8 months old. Gladys married and died in Colgate a small village near Horsham in Sussex.

I am convinced this is the same family as one of Gladys children, my cousin, George Arthur John ( known as John) has told me the Gladys had a sister called Tiny and a brother called Ted.

Yes I remember King & Barnes and the Green Dragon in the Bishopric, a bit of a dive but it was early in my youth that and the White Swan in West Street

I rented a flat in Albion Terrace behind Woolworths and very convenient for getting home.  I then bought a house on Lambs Farm Estate Roffey
