J (James) Fitzroy Mitchell Engineer (Died young at Buenos Airies)

Where does this information come from?
There is a Freemasons entry for 1886 for this man so if he died young, which generation would he be?

J Fitzroy information came from the Dictionary Of Irish Archictects 1720-1940.

James Fitzroy Mitchell, who was born circa 1851, was a son of Adam Mitchell, sessional Crown solicitor for Co. Offaly. On 24 March 1890, when he was thirty-nine, his 'promising career as an engineer was sadly terminated at Buenos Ayres, after nine days' illness'.

Taking the Cullen family of Catherine Theresa Cullen...and the families they  married

Parkes of Parke's Castle, the Nesbitts, the Wynnes, the Wrays, the Waldrons etc etc etc... All Landed Gentry with vast estates, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Catherine Theresa Cullen married Michael Thomas Mitchell, who could have been one of the Mitchells of Mount Mitchell in Co. Leitrim, of Fingall, Co. Dublin and of Bordeaux, France!!

Pure speculation of course!!
Yes I am sure Michael Thomas Mitchell is related. Such wonderful work yourself Hallmark and heywood have been able to do for me.


I'd be more inclined to Purchase the Mitchell Pedigree ( Mitchells of Mount Mitchell in Co. Leitrim, of Fingall, Co. Dublin and of Bordeaux, France )  from the National Library of Ireland.

Beg your pardon, hallmark, I had overlooked the information re James Fitzroy  ::)

Shane,
Am I right now that you have answers to most of those names in your initial request - perhaps you need to track Mary down.
I know I asked re James F but then I did also post that I had found his appointment to Burma and then his commemoration so was happy with that information.
