Mitchell - Mackie

[grammatj8]

Looking for any information on Maggie Mackie who married William Mitchell in 1863 in Mortlach, Banff. They had possibly 7 children who most stayed in Scotland. John born 1863 owned a hotel in Aberdeen, what happened to him. Willialm born in 1865 owned the Mason Arms in Dufftown what happened to him, Peter born in 1867, Jessie bornin 1870 James in 1873 all born in Cabrach. Anyone having any information, it would be appreciated.
William was the son of Peter Mitchell and Janet Kemp
Maggie was the daughter of William Mackie and Jane Daun.

Hi Grammatj8

Have you got some of the family's census entries:

1871- everyone showing as born in Cabrach except for Margaret:

William Mitchell 38, merchant
Margaret Mitchell 33, b. Tarland, Aberdeenshire
John Mitchell 7
William Mitchell 5
Peter Mitchell    3
Janet Mitchell    8 Mo

Address: Bridgend, Cabrach, Aberdeenshire

And in 1881, not sure if William Snr. has died, Margaret is showing as head of household:

Margaret Mitchel 43, General Merchant, b. Tarland, Aberdeenshire
John Mitchel    17
William Mitchel 15
Peter Mitchel    13
Jannet Mitchel    10
James Mitchel    7
Alexander Mitchel 5
Charles Mitchel 2
Jean MacKie 70, mother, A Kniter Of Yarn, b. Aberlour, Banffshire

Address: Bridgend, Cabrach, Aberdeenshire

And in 1891, with the older children away from home:

Margrett Mitchel 53, Merchant, b. Tarland, Aberdeenshire
Charles Mitchel 12
John Stewart    28
Jessie Stuart    20, daughter
Maggie Stuart    3 Mo

Address: Bridgend, Cabrach, Aberdeenshire

Not many Mitchells born in Cabrach. Hopefully, you should be able to trace the children on the censuses up to 1901.

Regards.

Thats great thanks.  I just noticed that Peter died in 1899.  So the 4 boys are the ones that I have to follow.  John, who owned the hotel in Aberdeen, William who owned the Mason Arms in Dufftown, James and Alexander.  I wonder where they went. 
Well I will keep looking.  Thanks for your help.

Picking up on the eldest John (and brother James), before his hotel ownership days:

1891, lodging at the Kelly household:

John Mitchell    27, Commercial Trav (Spirit), b. Cabrach
James Mitchell    17, clerk, b. Cabrach

Address: 23 Thistle Str, Aberdeen Old Machar

1901, was John a carpenter before he went into the hotel business (the only John Mitchell showing born Cabrach):

John Mitchell    33, Carpenters (journeyman), b. Cabrach
Janes Mitchell    34, b. Boharm, Banffshire
Maggie Mitchell 2, b. Dufftown, Banffshire
John A Brown    24, boarder
James Donald    24, boarder

Address: 4 Squarem Mortlach, Banff

And also in 1901, and maybe it was James that started off first in the hotel business:

James Mitchell    27, innkeeper, b. Cabrach
Isabel Mitchell 33, b. Glenlivet, Banffshire
James N Mitchell 10 mo, b. Dufftown, Banffshire
Helen Morren    78, general servant, b. Dufftown, Banffshire

Address:  22 Conval Street (hotel), Mortlach, Banff

I'm out this pm. I'll pick up on the other brothers later unless someone else can do the searches.

Hopefully, the above info will let you verify it's the right Mitchell brothers through their marriage certs.

Regards.
