Wendy - I found your posts on other sites as well. Thank you for giving me some direction.  The civil registration I purchased for the marriage of Solomon Walder and Ann Mitchell Jupp has Ann's Father's name  blank.  I believe your info from the actual parish register shows her father as Edward Francis Mitchell, blacksmith, with a line crossed through.  Is that correct?  Thank you, Kathleen

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.

Wendy - thank you so much for clarifying all of that - I would never have been able to figure that out from the records I have.  Now I have a whole new avenue to explore. Will keep you posted if I find anything of interest. 
Best regards, Kathleen

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

I am holding a copy of the original in my hand.  Would you like me to scan it and send it privately? Or I can transcribe it.

Hi Wendy, Is it possible to send me the image of the parish record that shows "Francis Ellwood" crossed out and "blacksmith" crossed out?  I would like confirmation for my records. It is quite a change of direction in my research.

I have done some preliminary searching and see what you mean regarding the difficulty of finding Matthew and Jane Elwood.  I will certainly keep you posted if I discover anything of interest.

Thanks for your help, Kathleen

Good morning,

This is a very good site for researching blacksmiths; http://blacksmiths.mygenwebs.com/

And this one for all things Mitchell. He has a large data base of Mitchells and is always open to more names to add to it. http://www.devon-mitchells.co.uk/
