A few months ago I started a thread for David Thomas Mitchell. Stewart kindly found his baptism and marriage of his parents.
Although the baptism of his mother, Esther Elizabeth Le Dain, was located, nothing on his father, Francis Mitchell, could be found. We drew the conclusion that he was not born in Jersey. However, there was a question on his marriage record regarding the spelling/pronunciation of his name.
In the last few days, I have received, from a fellow Le Dain researcher, a document of female Le Dain marriages - wife 1st. The document showed only one female Le Dain married in the year 1796 in St. Helier. This was quite exciting as Francis Mitchell and Esther Le Dain were married in 1796 in St. Helier. On the document this Le Dain female was married to a surname "Michel", and the husband was noted as being baptised and registered in St. Helier.
Would anybody be able to look a little further into this possibility for me, please. There is now a strong chance this could be my "Francis Mitchell" and that his baptism could have been recorded as "Francois Michel" or something similar. As we have found no record of him in the Uk, I would be so grateful to know if this link is a dead end or not.
Many thanks
Kim
