Hi jackhammer,

I think you need those death certs. Both Ernest and William Melville died at times when extra information will be contained on those certs including place of birth. See

William Melville MITCHELL died 30 Jun 1914 Pt Pirie Dist Cla Symbol S 385 260 aged 57 Years Rel not recorded
 
Ernest was buried 9 Oct 1958 (You will need ref to order, sorry I can't provide that - there are some members who will able to provide the details)

Could be well worth there money 

Good Luck..........Cheers Kris

Hi Krisesjoint

Thanks for your reply, I think you are probably right about getting the death certificates, it seems the best way.

William Melville Mitchell was my great grandfather, he died in Port Pirie, South Australia in 1914 as stated. Ernest Hamilton was his son as was Cyril Harcourt, Roy, John Turner, Sidney, Albert, Harry and Charles all from a first marriage and then my own grandfather Stanley Harold Victor Mitchell of Williams second marriage to Margaret Mary Smith. My grandfather was only three years old when William was run over by a horse and dray. I was only familiar with Cyril (never married), John(Jack) never married, Charles married Mona Horne, Ernest married Gertrude Siegmann, Roy married Cicily Smith, the other brothers Albert married Olga Grocke, Harry married Mavis Mckenzie, Sidney never married. My grandfather married Stella Florence Sandery Hope this helps  Cheers Myka

Hi Jackhammer

This MITCHELL family was in NSW mostly at Wentworth.  Parents named William and Anna.

Thanks very much Rhonda, well spotted. I will investigate the Wentworth district on the NSW records. A William registered Bathurst 1856 could be of interest too. Age would be right.

Hi Myka,
Just realised your Roy Mitchell m. Cecily SMITH is part of my family tree.
Cecily/Cicely was a sister to my GGrandmother Mary (May) Lovell SMITH.
I sent you a private message but you have to post 2 more messages for your private email to work.

Hope to hear from you,
Sashar

So pleased i could be of help to some in regards to William Mitchell, also Cicely Smith who has family still here in Port Pirie. I note you mention NSW links for William Melville Mitchell, my Aunty Collene says the family was originally from New South and she believes that William may have trained horses.

I have in my notes that Robert Roy MITCHELL was born 1900 at Wyndham nr Pooncairie NSW, father was William.

That's all I had which is why I didn't wake up for a while about the connection until I saw Cicely SMITH's name in your post.

The name Cicely/Cecily was handed down through the SMITH family which is why it caught my attention.

Will have to see if TROVE newspapers brings up anything to do with horses.

Regards,
Sashar
