I hope someone can help. I am trying to track down Frank and Evelyne Mitchell born 1888 and 1891 who went to Australia after August 1922. They were from Wilmington, Kent, England . Frank served in the British Army and his service record address was amended to 609, Ascot Street ? Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, sometime after 1919.
I know they were married in Wilmington, Kent in 1922, but have had no luck checking the immigration records.
Frank had a brother, Robert born 1890. From what I am told, he may have already left for Australia prior to 1920.
The remaining siblings in Wilmington lived in a house called "Ballarat", maybe relevant but I dont know anything more. Many thanks. ama

In the 1891 and 1901 census (details availble if you want them), the Mitchells lived in Garden Place, Wilmington. No House names were shown ...
However, using google, a Planning application for 'BALLARAT GARDEN PLACE' can be seen in Wilmington, Dartford area.

Thank you for replying. Frank and Robert's parents were
Henry Mitchell born 1854 Wilmington, Kent and Annie Mabson Smith born 1853 Great Glemham,
Suffolk.
Evelyne Mitchell (nee Hobden) father is given as Henry Hobden on her marriage to Frank.
I suspect her mother was Annie Maria Wallis, as Wallis is Evelyn's middle name.
Hope this helps. ama

Thank you for replying. It would be most helpful if you could check for me please.
The period I am interested in is from 1922 for Frank and Evelyne Mitchell as a couple.
I got the address from Frank's army service record, so I don't know how permanent it was,
only that it followed on from his Wilmington, Kent address in England.
We lose sight of Frank and his brother Robert, just a family memory that they went to Australia.
In the 1940's their nephew Ethric ( known as Eric) Mitchell also went to Australia, married there
and returned to England permanently in 1955.
Frank and Robert's unmarried siblings lived in a house called "Ballarat" in Wilmington, Kent,
where they remained for the rest of their lives.
As you can tell, I really know very little of their life, so any info. would be much appreciated.
Thank you ama

Hi ama,
At the Ballarat Cemetery there is a cremation record for
ROBERT MITCHELL
His date or birth is not given ,but he was 74 when he died 12/11/1964., so that fits with your information
His occupation is given as Railway Employee.
His lcation is
New Cemetery. Lawn E. 10. 15
I don't see EVELYN or FRANK
Does this sound like a possible to you?

Hi
Adding also there is ROBERT MITCHELL who has 2 war service records both ww1 & ww2 the first of which is digitised for reading.
Perhaps a read will ehlp you decide if this is your man. He was born in Kent and enlisted from BAllarat, so sounds good 
His
Next of Kin was FLORA MITCHELL and he was a motor driver.

MMmmm...
The Ascot Street address is given as his and FLora's.
Odd thing though.
There is a letter to the AIF requesting records as ROBERT has applied for benefits from the Repatriation Dept.
The letter is dated about a month after the death of the Robert I have given at the Crematorium.
Maybe he died suddenly after his application and it was not noted
