Hi Mary Ann, My name is Pat Profit and I have been searching for two Mitchell Families in Manitoba. Do you know where Granview, Mb is located? Wondering if it is close to Deloraine, Mb. where I know there were and still are some Mitchell Families. Yours, Pat

Re: William Mitchell in Grandview, Manitoba
Grandview was just outside of present day Brandon. The William Mitchell family from Goderich , Ont settled in Justice,mb which still exist today just outside Brandon. There are many descendants of this family. My husband being one of them.

Re: William Mitchell in Grandview, Manitoba
I'm not familiar with this system so I hope I am doing this correctly! I saw your query and I, too, am looking for info regarding a Mitchell family who lived in Justice Manitoba. I don't know Mr. Mitchell's name, but his wife was Mary ann Mitchell ( nee Thomas ) and their children's names were: Walker, Ray, Les, Cecil, Hazel and Hilda(?). My cousin's name is Sharon. Too many coincidences! Are we related perhaps? Please email me at Welshstar11@hotmail.com.

Re: William Mitchell in Grandview, Manitoba
Hi Pat & Sharon: I am still looking for Mitchell info even after these 5 years. What I have is that William (Born 1865 son of John, John, Robert, John) married Alice Evans and had 6 children-Ada, Wellington, Edward, Wiliam Earl (my line), Wilbur John, and Alice. In 1894, William was listed as a 'pedlar' and living in Clinton, Ontario. He was still there in the 1901 census, but when his father John died in 1913, the obituary said they were in Grandview. Why did they go to Grandview ?? They returned to Ontario before 1915. The third message on this list said that there are Mitchells still in Grandview - maybe they had relatives there? Please let me know if you can make any connections. Mary Ann

Re: William Mitchell in Grandview, Manitoba
I don't recall any Mitchell's from Deloraine. I don't live that far from there and my husband works there. How long ago was this? I can maybe look it up in the Deloraine history book for you. S.
