Angus (Forfarshire) / Re: Corn Mill- Stracathro- Early 1800's

I found this forum while trying to find information about James Mitchell, miller of Slade, Stracathro and his wife Mary (M.S. Duncan).
My connections is through James and Mary's grandson, William Mitchell (II) (1846 - 1927) and his wife Catherine (M.S. Anderson - Drumlithie) (1843 - 1920) who I've recently discovered were my great grandparents and who were married in Glenbervie in 1872. William is recorded as a journeyman blacksmith with his place of residence stated to be Arbroath. It would seem that William and Mary lived in Arbroath for the rest of their lives.
There were three generations of Mitchells in Arbroath the last being my mother (Charlotte Strathearn Stewart Mitchell and her sisters Kate and Betty. There were no sons in that generation so the Mitchell name ended, in this line, with them.
I have a vague memory of my mother and aunts talking about some family connection to Drumlithie but didn't know at the time what it was about. During the 1980s we lived in Drumlithie but I was not aware then what the family connection had been.
I am hoping that this may be of interest to Noreen19 and hegs if either of them is still following this thread and that, if so, we might be of some assistance to each other - or anyone else with a connection.
