Mitchell Family - Dundee

[MonicaL]

In 1901, there is a 15 year old David Mitchell, a tailor's apprentice - scholar at the
Dundee Industrial School for Boys at Downfield, Strathmartine, Angus. There are only 7 David Mitchell's showing in his age range in 1901 with a Dundee birth place, all the rest are living with parents.

This looks like Elizabeth Robertson's family in the 1861 Census. Everyone showing as born in Dundee. Mother is Catherine TAYLOR:

Wm Robertson 32, baker
Catherine Robertson 33
Ann Robertson    14
Elizabeth Robertson 11
Catherine Robertson 9
Jane Robertson    7
Mary Ann Robertson 4
William Robertson 2
Margaret Robertson 6 Mo
Mary Dommersnes 23, boarder

Address: 96 Overgate, Dundee



And a likely entry for John in 1861, everyone showing as born in Perth:

Elspet Balontque (Ballantyne?) 60, mother
Betsy Mitchell    22, head
Cathrine Mitchell 17, sister
Mary Mitchell    15, sister
John Mitchell 9, brother

Address: Cherry Field, Liff and Benvie, Dundee Second District.

and in 1871:

Betsy Mitchell    76
Betsy Mitchell    31
John Mitchell 22, mechanic
Mary Mitchell    24
Thomas Mitchell 5

Address: Cherryfd Lane Edwards Ld, Liff and Benvie, Dundee St Mary

This looks like an entry for John's parents' marriage (or Banns) from the Old Parish Registers:

THOMAS MITCHELL Marriages: Spouse: ELSPETH BALLANTINE    
Marriage:  01 JUN 1835  Perth, Perth, Scotland


Moira, I'll stop now and let you go through all this lot!

Just to tidy up one small point.

Being born and bred in Dundee, the Dundee Industrial School for Boys at Baldoran Strathmartine, Angus is actually at Baldovan, Downfield, Strathmartine.


Great work by MonicaLesl as usual !
