Europe / German Ancestor
« on: Saturday 20 March 10 18:09 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I have hit a brick wall trying to trace one of my ancestors who came from Germany.
The first reference I have found is his marriage in Banbury 1859 where his name is Charles Mitcheall, age 29, occupation tailor and father John Mitcheall a cook who was deceased.
In 1861
His son William Richard Mitchell was born in Banbury in 1860 and his name is given as Charles Mitchell, occupation a tailor journeyman.
In the 1861 census living in Banbury his name is Charles Michael age 32 occupation tailor and birthplace Germany.
His daughter Katie Bertha Mitchell was born in Chiswick in 1862 and his name is given as Charles Mitchell, occupation tailor (master).
His son Charles Lawrence Mishell was born in Chiswick in 1864 and his name is given as Charles Mishell, occupation tailor (journeyman).
His son Charles Lawrence Mithell was born in Chiswick in 1866 and his name is given as Charles Mithell, occupation tailor (master).
His son Richard Albert Mithell was born in Chiswick in 1870 and his name is given as Karl Mithell, occupation taylor.
In the 1871 census living in Chiswick his name is Karl Mitchell age 42 occupation tailor and birthplace Germany, Birstein.
In the 1881 census living in Chiswick his name is Karl Mitchele age 53 occupation tailor and birthplace Germany. (The enumerator appears to have written BS by the side of this - I am guessing for British Subject)
He died in 1886 aged 62 named Carl Mitchell and occupation Tailor of Chiswick.
I am puzzled as to when he would have come to the country, what his name was when born and how come a tailor appeared in Banbury rather than London. I have tried looking on the ancestry alien arrivals but haven't found anything I could be sure was him (the uncertainty of the name being the main problem).
If anyone is able to help it would be much appreciated.
