Where did William Mitchell go?
« on: Sunday 29 September 19 10:01 BST (UK) »
I am trying to track down my mums cousin who was born 8 Sep 1941 in Hendon. (Possibly still alive so I haven't mentioned his name)

His father was William Mitchell we think he was born in Scotland as he was known as Jock Mitchell. From the 1939 Register I have found a William Mitchell in the Lincoln area born 1913 whose job of some description of electrical job matches the occupation on the certificate of the child.

The childs mother was called Eileen Ada Hunter or Cook. Her maiden name was Hunter, she married Jack Cook, had a son called Peter (now deceased) but left Jack and got together with Jock.

The child was registered in Hendon, the address at the time was 2b Uphill Parade, Kingsbury. (I have the birth certificate)

Eileen eventually went back to Jack Cook but the child was handed over to his father Jock Mitchell and never seen of again.

I am wondering if the child was adopted as I cannot find any information in either England or Scotland for him.

If anyone can help please I would be forever grateful.

Many thanks
Avril

Thank you for the info, I have looked at this previously, the cost is too much. If I knew he had been adopted it would be a different matter but I am unsure what has happened to him.
