Do you have a copy of the 1904 marriage record? The information from the marriage will let you get back another generation, and should allow you to zero in on William Mitchell and Mary Bell in the 1901 Census. As far as children born after 1904, I think you'll need to have someone in Scotland research that for you. I don't know any other way. Sorry!

Sorry, I don't seem to have anyone of that name at that time. Best of luck, Dorothyl

Hi Carol
My husband is a great great grandson of John Mitchell and Mary Gibson through their son William and his daughter Annie. How are you connected to the Mitchells? If you are interested I have a few photos of William, and a few unnamed pictures that might be Mitchell related.

Hello, Its so good to hear from you!! Yes, we are related. I have an old funeral announcement card for William Mitchell dated 1902 and family tree info that I can send you. My great great grandparents were John & Mary (Gibson) Mitchell too! I will email you today. Thanks, Carol

Somehow I don't think we are of the same branch of the Mitchells. My grandmother was a Mitchell, daughter of William Mitchell (wife Agnes Miller) a headmaster in Irvine in Ayrshire. I have traced this branch back and found an American relative, John Mitchell of Kendallville, Indiana and he was a grandson of an Andrew Mitchell, who emigrated to America from Clawfin in Ayrshire in 1753. This branch is traceable back to Andrew Mitchell born in 1654, just about when records began here. No trace of any Gibsons, however. I doubt if this is what you are looking for, however. Let me know if I can help further. Dorothy

Dorothy, my message was referring to Marney MacDonalds message that appearred below mine. I am positive that we are related and so happy that she saw the message. I will email her. Thank you, Carol.

Hello. My great-grandfather, Gabriel McConnell, also known as Gilbert, was born in Northern Ireland, and was the son of Robert and Martha Williamson McConnell. Due to the similarity of names, do you know if my Robert is the son of the Robert or Gilbert you mention?

I have just signed up and found you note - my ancestors were john mitchell and mary woods who immigrated to Australia in the 1860 with a daughter Catherine - they had another daughter Anne who I believe was left behind - if this denotes to you I would love to hear from you as I don't have a great deal at the moment.

Regards
Colleen

Sorry,
these are not my Mitchells. My family stayed in Scotland.
Good Hunting.
