In reply to Mary Breer's posting about the MITCHELL's, I notice she replied directly to the AYRSHIRE rootsweb list, and I'm wondering whether
Sandi and Mary (who left their messages on the Message Board) will see the reply.or not.
My grandfather, William MITCHELL, was born in
Tarbolton area in 1857, but his parents and grandparents before him were known by the surname
MITCHELSON - not MITCHELL - and they came into Ayrshire by way of Kirkcudbrightshire and Dumfries-shire. The Mitchelsons were enumerated in New Cumnock in the 1851 Census.
One of my grandfather's brothers, Charles, married a Marion
COSSAR of
Carmichel, Douglas, Lanark.
Another brother, John Mitchell, married a Janet
Caldwell SMITH from
Tarbolton,
Ayr His sister Janet Mitchell married a Hugh
MUIR from Straiton,
Ayr.

Irene Mitchell, B.C.
