Yes and Mrs Mitchell is his sister-in-law Sarah.

Has her husband left a will?

If you mean George, I don't know. Haven't found one.

Found a death notice on Findmypast in the Dublin Evening Herald of 6 Feb 1847 for George Mitchell of Grafton Street. He died at Windy Harbour. Can't see the whole thing as I don't have full access.

In 1840 Robert was a cook in Grafton Street.

Is this Robert a son of George?  (1st Article is longer than I have clipped)

Yes that would be George's son Robert. He took over after his mother.
