This is where we get onto uncertain ground with William Mitchinson

His birthyear varies slightly between 1842-1845 but his birthplace is consistently Middlesborough

There is no William Mitchinson b around those years in Middlesborough on the 1851 census

There is an 1851 entry for a William Mitcheson aged 9 living with grandparents surname Blinkhorne but he was born in Osmotherley Yorks

There is a William Mitchinson aged 7 born in Whorlton parents John (a blacksmith) & Elizabeth.  He is still at home in 1861 and birthplace is shown as Swainby Yorks

I've tried just searching on William b Middlesborough but no joy

I think you are going to need a copy of the 1869 marriage cert to find his fathers name and occupation

This is brilliant Carole, Gosh I havent ordered such an old cert before,I am so intrigued what it will say,
I will go to bed tonight with a big smile on my face..
Thankyou
Chrissie

Hi Devis

That is a great find - I have only been looking in Yorkshire, forgetting that Middlesborough spans both Yorks and Durham

[CaroleW]

So this is probably his birth reg.  I saw this earlier and forgot his marriage was also reg in Stockton - DUH!!
