Australia / Any info marriage/death Margaret MITCHELL Melbourne
« on: Friday 21 April 17 10:32 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace any info about my great aunt Margaret (Maggie) Mitchell. She was born in Sunderland UK in 1885 the daughter of Andrew Mitchell and Hannah nee Kennedy. Margaret was a dressmaker and family stories say she left England with her sewing machine! I know she was still in UK in 1921 as she was witness at her sisters wedding. I have found a record of a Margaret Mitchell arriving in Melbourne from London February 1927 on the ship Otranto. Address in Australia is Federal Mills Geelong. This would fit with her occupation. I can find no further trace so any help or ideas would be gratefully received.
