Hi
I've had a look at your family, but unfortunately they are a difficult lot and I have found very little. For what's it worth and in case any of it is of interest, here goes …
George Mitchell and Elspet Johnstoun mar 1736 Fettercairn. Three children bpt Marykirk, Mary 30/3/1746, William 14/8/1748 and Robert 12/10/1750. Presumably missing bpts of other children for the years 1736-1746, but I can't find anything.
Just to confuse things there are also George Mitchel and Margaret Jonstoun bpt dau Ann 13/12/1738 Marykirk and George Mitchel and Isab. Johnstoun bpt son George 6/9/1741 Marykirk. So, potentially three separate George Mitchells bpt children at Marykirk at the same time?
Robert Mitchell mar Helen Christison 6/6/1807 Edzell and bpt William 1808, Robert 1809, James 1811, Mary 1813, Charles 1815, David 1818, Elizabeth 1821, George 1823 and John 1825 all at Edzell. I can't find any of the family on the Edzell 1841 census.
Helen was the dau of Hugh Christison and Mary Valentine mar 11/5/1782 Edzell. Children William 4/5/1783, Helen 19/9/1784 and Sarah 18/3/1787 all Edzell.
There is a Robert Mitchell at Colthill, Edzell in the 1841 census, but he's not yours.
Robert Mitchell 55 Ag Lab born outside Angus
Betty 50 born Angus
David 21 Linen Hand Loom Weaver born Angus
Alexander Clarke 73 Ag Lab born outside Angus
There are a lot of missing details - baptisms, deaths and burials, census entries, etc. Maybe someone with better access to records than me can help?
