I've obtained the birth certificate of Mary Ann Mitchell, 14 March 1842. Her parents are listed as Henry Mitchell & Hannah Dix (informant is Hannah Dix, mother). The birth took place at 39 Claremont Buildings, Walcot, Bath. Henry is a French Polisher.
There are not at the address in the 1841 census, & I can't find them at all (a few individuals who could be them, but nothing definite) or in 1851.
I think Hannah may have died in 1859, aged 42 as Hannah Mitchell, but I've not been able to find any marriage in the indexes. They had two other children, Henry born about 1825 & Emma in 1828 according to the 1861 census, when Henry is a widower. He went on to marry again & produce another family. His birthplace is given as Wotton Under Edge or Uley in Gloucestershire, but his baptism can't be found in the PRs there (see previous thread in Gloucestershire)
Any help or ideas very much appreciated

Thanks Rob,
First of all my apologies - I see I've given the wrong dates for Henry jnr & Emma Mitchells births - they should read 1843 & 1848.
Henry V Mitchell is very interesting, but I'm certain the 1871 one can't be mine - he appears on that census in Bristol with his new wife, Louisa Jane (Bult) whom he married in 1862 (I've now got the cert). His father was George Mitchell, a tailor, born 1791 in Wooton Under Edge, whom I've found in 1851 in Bristol as a lodger (no family!).
Its intuiging that both Henrys are French Polishers with a link to Walcot though.
So we have:
1841 No definite individuals
1851 Henry V Mitchell in Batheaton/ George Mitchell in Bristol
1861 Henry Mitchell in Walcot
1871 Both Henry & Henry V
I've wracked my brain over 1851 for my Henry - but I don't see that Henry V could be the same man, because of the 1871 results

Thanks Rob
I'll check those out - looks like the right George. I think son Henry may have left home by 1841 (he would have been in his mid 20s) & I believe he may have a brother George who witnessed his second marriage - so I'll dig deeper

I've found a reference to Henry & Hannah Mitchell being in Bristol in 1851:
Pope's Parade, St Pauls, with children Mary (9), Henry (7) & Miranda (1) - this is the same street Henry's father George is in; but I can't find them on Ancestry - I've tried all ways of searching the index, but they don't appear.
I've started to plough through the parish page by page, but Ancestry seems to seize up after about 10 pages. can anyone who can access the 1851 Census through a different channel look for them for me & let me have a reference?

Thanks Barbara, & for your PM.
I was puzzled at first by Marandea - she seems to appear in all later records as Emma - & signs Emma on her sister's marriage certificate. I always wondered why I couldn't find her birth - BMD has Miranda!
