Thanks to you both. Jonas and his first wife Hannah had three children, John Thomas 1867, George Goodwin 1869 and Sarah Ann 1872. Jonas and Bessie had three children, Jonas Hall 1890, Willis Hall 1893, (my gt grandfather) and John Hall 1898, (Hall being their middle name). They lived at 500 Leeds Road and then 566 Leeds Road. Jonas was a general dealer, cabinet maker, greengrocer and a broker. (Jack of all trades by the look of things)!!! I managed to get a copy of Jonas Hall Mitchell stood outside the shop at 566 Leeds Road, amazing.
I also found the marriage details of Jonas and an Esther Elizabeth Hillman, but on the census and Jonas's death certificate she is Bessie Mitchell Also on Willis's birth it states mother Bessie Mitchell formerly Hall.

Hello Jill
I'm new at this so I hope this is getting to you ok.  Willis Hall Mitchell was also my Great Grandfather and I am very excited to learn more.  He was my paternal Grandmothers father. I would be very pleased to see the photo you have.  Regards Lorraine
On the 1891 census she is Elizabeth and from Wakefield which is incorrect, also Jonas is from Nannerch???? should be Bradford.
I have just found a Betsy Hall christened 1/4/1855 Tankersley, father Isaac Hall and mother Alice, on familysearch which sounds promising.
