Hi folks,
Have just been researching some Mitchell children (orphans) from Aberdeenshire who were sent to Quarriers. a mention was made of the above name Wm. Mitchell, Clothier from Kirkintilloch. Was wondering the best way to trace this family. the date was 1892 ish. Thanks for reading.

Hi there 

Is there any other post on the children here on RC that we could read for any additonal notes and comments on the children?

On what type of document was the William Mitchell you mention referred to?

There is this entry showing on the 1891 census:

William Mitchell 30 tailor b. Monquhitter, Aberdeenshire
Agnes Mitchell 24 b. Dalmellington, Ayrshire
William W Mitchell 1 b. Kirkintilloch
Annie M Thompson 17 visitor b. Glasgow
George M Davidson 32 draper's assistant b. Abernethy

Address: Hillview Terrace Kirkintilloch

There are two William Mitchell's on the 1895 valuation rolls at the following addresses:

SHOP 93 COWGATE STREET
HOUSE AVENUE PLACE 64 TOWNHEAD

The original image of the VRs will include normally an occupaton.

William and Agnes' marriage cert will let you confirm his parents' names.

One possibility is www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYYZ-YHK

By 1901, this Mitchell family look to be in Glasgow:

William Mitchell 40 tailor
Agnes Mitchell 34
William W Mitchell 11 b. Kirkintilloch
Margaret H Mitchell 8 b. Kirkintilloch
Jane W Mitchell 6 b. Kirkintilloch

Address: 471 Crown Street, Glasgow Govan/ Hutchesontown

There is a marriage in 1889 in Kirkintilloch for a William Mitchell and an Agnes Dick which is a possible entry.

From the 1901 census, William and Agnes had a daughter Margaret H Mitchell born c. 1892. SP show a likely entry for her birth as Margaret Hannah Mitchell.

An Agnes Dick was born to a William Dick and Margaret Hannah in Dalmellington Ayrshire in 1866 www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYPZ-QHX

The cousin who came with John Mitchell junior when he brought his siblings to Quarriers - possibly William Mitchell, the youngest son of William Mitchell (John Mitchell senior's brother) and Jane/Jean Watson - and brother to Margaret Mitchell, the wife of John Mitchell junior.

He was also a tailor - he married Agnes Dick from Dalmellington, Ayrshire in 1889 in Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire - the family are living there in the 1891 census. By 1901, they are in Govan.
