This page contains some notes on a family whose origins we are researching. Some families we know more about than others, but we hope that by publishing this summary here we can make contact and exchange data with people who can help to complete the picture.
The Mitchell family we are researching lived in Cornwall, in Perranzabuloe and later in Truro. We are interested in the following generations of people who bore this surname:
John Mitchell and Mary Kernick (married 1733)
Philip Mitchell (1733/4 - 1799) and Mary Dale (c1742 - 1801)
Robert Mitchell (1770 - 1813) and Susan Moore (1777 - 1860)
Mary Mitchell (c1804 - 1890) and John Brown (1795 - 1870)
The Mitchell family lived in the parish of Perranzabuloe, north-west of Truro. It is a large parish, but we can identify specific references to places in or near the hamlet of Marazanvose. We believe that Philip Mitchell was the son of the John Mitchell who married Mary Kernick, but we have not fully established the earlier family relationships. The surname is also spelt Michel, Michell or Mitchel.
Some of the names above are linked to the corresponding record in the on-line family tree. When you click on a link, the linked record will be displayed in a separate window. There you can see the family relationships as we understand them, together with notes on what we have found in parish registers, census returns and other records.
