I am looking for John Mitchell b. 1840 Kenwyn Cornwall. We believe he went to Butte Montana as he is a Tin Miner. We have his whole family in Cornwall.

Bathsheba b. 1838, we have found her, but need to know where she is buried. She dies on 29th August, 1916.

Gbaby.......It's in the USA..............

Nadia.........

You may wish to know where the woman was buried....I'm not sure that you 'need' to.

As you know the exact date on which she died, one assumes you have the death cert..............

Look at cemeteries in the vicinity of her last address

When do you think he emigrated?

And what makes you think he went to Montana?

GlitterBaby

GlitterBaby Report 9 Oct 2012 13:36

So is this husband and wife or brother and sister

Where did she die and what name

You believe he went to Butte Montana - what evidence do you have

Not sure how members are supposed to know where every place in the world is without at least putting a country

He went to USA about 1861. Never came back.

His son followed to go there too when he became 21yrs in 1881, his son went to Butte Montana as Miner and returned. We stem from the son and the mother Bathsheba Eva who never married.
