Kim This, presumably, is the family in 1901.......... Jane Mitchell abt 1880 Brighton, Sussex, England Wife Brighton Sussex Lily Mitchell abt 1900 Brighton, Sussex, England Daughter Brighton Sussex Thomas Mitchell abt 1876 Brighton, Sussex, England Head Brighton Sussex What makes you think this man was born in Scotland? Please reply on the board...............please answer the questions..............we can't help you without your co-operation Rose

There is no Henry Thomas born around that time. There are two Thomas Henry though. Do you think his name might be the wrong way round?

he married as henry Thomas cant find him in brighton in 1891 found Married in 1901 (states birthplace brighton though) also found jane inkpin 1891 > 1861 Inkpin, Jane Elizabeth 1899 June Marriages Brighton Sussex East Sussex Mitchell, Henry Thomas 1899 June Marriages Brighton Sussex East Sussex

hi guys im only saying he was born in scotland as ivy his daughter is adamant he was so i only have her word to go on but as people are showing from the look up they have done its listing brighton so im quite confused and ROSE i am co-operating with all of you i just dont know which way to turn now there are two henry thomas mitchells listed on the scotland census with a henry as there father which georgina has kindly looked up for me all i can do is get back on the phone to ivy and question her again but im really beginning to question the whole scottish thing THANX though ppl for all the help you have given me...kimx

Kim Relations can be terribly misleading with the info they give...........memories can play tricks. Rose

No Mhairi, the parents' names do not appear on English death certs...........if only!! Only the name and 'qualification' of the informant is given on the cert. If the deceased is a female who has married, her maiden name is listed, but even that wasn't always the case! Rose

i have just spoken to ivy his daughter she says that he 'didnt' have a scottish accent so the likelihood is he is the from brighton i just wish shed given said this before coz it has wasted alot of your guys time and credits which im really SORRY for so the HENRY THOMAS MITCHELL im looking for is southern not scottish !!!!

so, This is the right man Jane Mitchell abt 1880 Brighton, Sussex, England Wife Brighton Sussex Lily Mitchell abt 1900 Brighton, Sussex, England Daughter Brighton Sussex Thomas Mitchell abt 1876 Brighton, Sussex, England Head Brighton Sussex earlier census may lead us to scotland but we'll have to wait and see **Anyone else that fancy a look - its only MITCHELL Line needs taking back

Might be worth bearing in mind (have to go get the dinner now, back later) 1881 Frank Lucas abt 1846 Pagham, Sussex, England Head 136 Albion St, Southwick, Sussex, England Frank Lucas abt 1878 Southwick, Sussex, England Son 136 Albion St, Southwick, Sussex, England Harriet Lucas abt 1838 Beeding, Sussex, England Wife 136 Albion St, Southwick, Sussex, England Harry Mitchell abt 1871 Southwick, Sussex, England Son 136 Albion St, Southwick, Sussex, England Thomas Mitchell abt 1875 Southwick, Sussex, England Son 136 Albion St, Southwick, Sussex, England William Wingate abt 1862 Southwick, Sussex, England Son 136 Albion St, Southwick, Sussex, England

happening here already

wasn't in Whichelo place in 1881 , not as a Mitchell/mitchel anyway

JESS , Thanx for taking a look for me i dont understand all the different surnames for the children to harriet and frank seems very odd could well be the one im looking for though...? THANX again for all your help... kimx (ps enjoy your dinner !)

JESS, it says on his marriage certificate that on 1st april 1899 he was living at 53 whichelo place in brighton his grand-daughter has his marriage and death certificate which both list where he was living at time,maybe he was just lodging there...? kimx ***ive deleted the duplicate request on the message board***

He may well have been Kim, will look now and see where he and Jane were living in 1901. (mr & Mrs Seagrove and their family were living at 53 whichelo place in 1881 ) What i have been doing is looking for a marriage of a harriet mitchell to a frank Lucas - we know his father was dead, but we dont know how long dead , so it is possible his mother remarried. cant find a marriage though. there are 11 Henry Mitchells that died in Bighton within a realistic time!

JESS, i presume you are looking for henry thomas dad on the 1901 census there is an henry mitchell listed with the occupation as a house painter and this is what is listed on his sons marriage certificate so i would think that he is likely to be the one we are looking for it says in 1901 he is 42/43 yrs old so must have been alive but on his sons marriage cetrificate says he is deceased so i dont know if his mother had him illegitametly and told her son thomas that he had died (as if the henry mitchell on the census is the right one then he would of been very young to have had a child approx 17/18) or he had had a falling out with his father so didnt want him listed on the marriage certificate? seems quite a difficult one this....kimx

I have found a marriage between FRANK LUCAS brn abt 1846 and HARRIET MITCHELL brn abt 1838 it is listed on 1837 online as jul qtr at steyning 2b 458 . dont really know where to go from here now ? kimx
