George Croal Mitchell married Mary Ann Petrie on the 10th Jan 1890  st Whitehall St.,( Dist. St. Clement,) Dundee .

He was 45 a Butcher and widower living at 74 Ferry Rd., Dundee  Mary Ann was 28 of 158 Strathmartine Rd., Dundee.   Their marriage was by Warrant of Sheriff Substitute of Forfarshire dated 10 Jan 1890.

Have a b irth certificate for a Daniel Cameron Mitchell born 10 Oct 1900 parents George Croal Mitchell and Mary Ann Petrie.

Hi Weemanswife and Ev,

This is amazing - thank you so much - this is so appreciated

Cannot thank you enough - Luc.

Hello Luc

Some of your Mitchells have really unique names - so no problems finding them.

In all of Scotland there are only 2 deaths between 1855 and 2009 for a Charles Noyes Mitchell

I would imagine that one is the son of the other.

1 1943 MITCHELL CHARLES NOYES     M 69 ST ANDREW (DUNDEE) DUNDEE CITY/ANGUS 282/03 0633
2 1986 MITCHELL CHARLES NOYES Not Permissible   M 77 DUNDEE DUNDEE CITY/DUNDEE CITY 350/00 0194

and in the same time frame there is only one Faraday Wallace Mitchell dying.

1 1921   MITCHELL   FARADAY WALLACE    M 37 POSSILPARK   GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/07 0291

To really progress your family history - although I'm sure that others here will be able to get you information, it is advisable to register at the government website at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.  Free to register but a ppv site with a min. spend of £6.  For that you can download bmds and census records - copies not transcriptions.  Currently this would allow for 5 downloads.  As the 2 gentleman above have unique names it should be easy to find out if they married - and Scottish records give a wealth of information..  The search then continues..

Good luck.

Regards,   Steve

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the advise I will check out what is available on this site - although I was told that it does not work with windows 7, something to do with difficulty downloading and printing their documents.  I think I should find out for myself -maybe if there was a problem it has been fixed by now - I hope so!

thanks again for the tip - regards - Luc.

Hi Luc,

There is no problem that I am aware of with viewing documents on SP via Windows 7.

One thing that often helps with downloads is what setting you have on your preferences to view images from there.

It is free to register on the site (you only have to buy units to view search results or images). This is the registration page for SP www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/users/registration.aspx  Under the section Application Options/ Image Viewer, choose 'Direct Download'. This works very well for most systems
