Hello and thank you, I'm hoping it will be an interesting journey  :)

I attached the file of John's marriage certificate to my last post in addition to the link. I'm hoping that worked ok (I'm not sure if I did it correctly) but it's listed as downloaded twice so hopefully ok for people to see? John Mitchell married Eliza Fellows in Bendigo, VIC, Australia on 28-12-1871.

Unfortunately I don't know what religion they would have been.
I have information from my family that John Mitchell was born about 1841 in Kilkeel, but I can't verify it yet.

Thanks again for any hints.

Hello,
I know this is an old post, but I'm hoping that some are still looking. I'm looking for the family history of Sarah Agnew, possibly the one mentioned above.

Sarah Agnew is listed as the mother on the marriage certificate of her son, John Mitchell, who was married in Australia in 1871. The certificate can be accessed from the Victorian Births Deaths and Marriages online record:
https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/indexsearch.doj?viewSequence=200&language=en&trxId=IDX&commandAction_displayDetailsAction%3DF257FCFC6B73EEB763E6C9C68E4C99BA

John Mitchell's parents are listed as James Mitchell and Sarah Agnew. Father's profession listed as "farmer". John Mitchell's (the son) birthplace is listed on his marriage certificate as "Kilkeel Down". I have not located John or Sarah's birth certificates yet. I don't have a birth year, but from his marriage date I expect John was born in the 1800s and Sarah probably was early 1800s. Where do I look for their birth records?

I note that there are Mitchells and Agnews buried in Mourne Presbyterian Church graveyard Kilkeel, but I'm not sure how to access further detail on these graves (I only have surnames on the plot map listed in section B numbers 30, 308, 320, 74, 197, 266, 376.) Any help on where to look for these would be appreciated.

Did you find out any further information on Shaw Agnew and Elizabeth? (They may be Sarah's parents also.)

Thank you for any help.
Jane
