Samuel MITCHELL - Death Certificate __COMPLETED (with thanks :) )

[dustfarmer]

I am trying to find a record of the death or other information on  Samuel MITCHELL who lived in Collingwood / Northcote (Melbourne) area. He had a son born Collingwood in 1864, his wife died in Collingwood in 1881. He was a plasterer by occupation.  He came to Geelong from England in 1855.  Wife's name was Fanny (nee THOMPSON.  They were both born in London in 1830/1832 and married in London in 1852.

If you have Fanny's death certificate, which would detail her place of burial, you could check with the cemetery to see if Samuel is buried at the same location.

Samuel placed an advertisement in the ARGUS in 1855   informing his brothers that he had arrived in Victoria. Their names were listed as  John  and John Edward Enderby

A man called JOHN EDWARD ENDERBY had a number of children in the Avoca area between 1857 and 1870.

I am not sure how he is a brother of SAMUEL with the different surname

I am not sure how he is a brother of SAMUEL with the different surname

I would suggest he is his step brother.

I noticed that the 1851 census had wife 'Rody', not Elizabeth.

Awesome, I’m most impressed!

I have the shipping record of Samuel MITCHELL and Fanny THOMPSON, who sailed from SouthHampton, England to Geelong in 1855 and listed his occupation as plasterer, and native country as Middlesex, England. That would match up with them having their first daughter in Geelong, and possibly learning his father’s trade. I have a birth certificate for Henry Walter MITCHELL, who was my great grandfather, and born in East Collingwood in 1864. 
I also have the death certificate of Samuel MITCHELL’s wife, Fanny MITCHELL.  This lists her death as 1881, in Collingwood, that she was born in England, had 4 children, Jane Elizabeth, John David, Samuel and Henry Walter.  Also that her father was Edward THOMPSON, occupation Die Sinker, and her mother Elizabeth SPEARING.  (not sure what a die sinker was)

Thankyou so much, I was starting to think that Samuel MITCHELL may have left after his wife died, as I didn’t seem able to find anything on him after that.  Also I don’t seem able to find a death record for Henry Walter MITCHELL, Samuel’s youngest son.

Once again, many thanks  J

Hi dustfarmer

I don’t seem able to find a death record for Henry Walter MITCHELL, Samuel’s youngest son.
The name Henry was abbreviated in the Index.
Hy Walter MITCHELL aged 71 died 1935 NCOTE
Parents were  Samuel MITCHELL & Fanny  THOMPSON
Reg #11073

Did Fanny's death certificate mention Samuel still alive or deceased?
