Hi McGillyclan, I looked at the IGI and found brothers and a sister for your Sarah, the dates are
Catherine Mitchell born on the 21st of Feburary 1867 in ManorHamilton county Leitrim
Patrick Mitchell 5th Feburary 1868 Leitrim
And Sarah as you know born on the 30th of October 1869 in Leitrim then
James Mitchell 29th of Jan 1871 Leitrim he must have died as there was another
James Mitchell 27th November 1872 Leitrim
and then George Mitchell 25th of September 1875 Leitrim
and the mothers surname is listed as Rorke.
all the best
colette.

Hi again Mcgillyclan I was thinking about the Griffith valuation. so i typed in the surname Mitchell and the county Leitrim
and found a John Mitchell in the Town of Manorhamilton, Castle Street. in the Parish of Killasnet in county Leitrim
and another John Mitchell in the Town of Manorhamilton, Main Street. In the Parish of Cloonclare in County Leitrim.
It was just that Manorhamilton is mentioned on the birth record of Catherine Mitchell.
Now as you know they say that the first female child is named after the mothers Mother well i found
Catherine Rourke in the Town of Manorhamilton Castle Street in the Parish of Killasnet county Leitrim
I wonder if this Catherine is the mother of Sarah?
You could look for the marriage of John and Sarah about 1865-66 in Manorhamilton Leitrim.

Ps do you notice that Catherine Rourke lived in Castle street and so did John Mitchell.?

Its me again i noticed i had made a mistake in the birth date of Catherine i put 1869  but the Year was 1867 thats why i was saying to check for a marriage for Sarah and John in 1865-66.
Glad to have been of some help to you and good luck.
Colette
Ps let me know how you get on.

Hi Claire did you get sorted about the Marriage cert? im sorry but I dont know of any sites to get them on. All my ancestors are from the north of Ireland (at the minute). In the meantime If I find any thing out I will give you a shout

My great grandmother was called Mary Mitchell born around 1862 somewhere in Co. Leitrim.
Her father was James Mitchell who by 1881 was described on Mary's marriage cert. as "shoeing smith deceased". I do wonder if the "deceased" bit might be a lie to enable her to marry without his permission! (she married in Weymouth England at the age of 19)
The only clue I have as to where in Co.Leitrim the family came from is the 1881 english census where the place name is illegible but looks as if it ends in "...ile" Any ideas as to how I might narrow down the search?
I know the dates don't match for your James Mitchell but names tend to stay in families and Leitrim is not that big a place!

This website allows you to search for townlands, etc. in Ireland:
www.seanruad.com
You can put in part of a word and find matches. However, I tried looking for a townland ending in 'ile' in Co. Leitrim but nothing shows up.

Thanks - I tried several variations with the same result as you!
Mary Mitchell was a 19 year old Irish girl working as a maid in an English Hotel and explaining where she came from in an Irish accent to an enumerator probably with a Dorset accent!
I am hoping at some time to get to see the original census return - maybe it will be clearer than the microfilm.
But thanks again for your help.
