I have in my tree a Robert Sutcliffe b c1798 m Mary Mitchel(l) in 1832 d 21 5 1862

I am trying to identify his parents

This is the info I have from his will

Brothers in law Abraham Mitchell, John Law

Brother Daniel

sons Samuel, Robert & Thomas Mitchell (known as Mitchell)

daughters Emily (m Charles Bamford, Sarah Ellen (m Marmaduke Mallison) * daughter ? (cannot decifer name)

He seems to have died a relatively wealthy man - extract from his will reads

Thanks CaroleW but i have all the info on him, I think all verified, from after his marriage in 1832. It is his parents I am trying to identify. I have tried via the named brothers in law but have got nowhere. The marriage I thought I had for John Law I have just found to be incorrect

If this is the right one in 1851 2289/27/3, Abraham Mitchell is a couple of entries previous to Robert and there are Sutcliffes either side of his entry. Are they related?
Was Mary a second wife?

There are 3 Robert Sutcliffe deaths in 1862 - all in Todmorden.  Presume yours is the June qtr?

March qtr - aged 60
June qtr aged 64
Dec qtr aged 66
