Please can someone help find the parents of John Mitchell b 1885 who( found by MarieCeleste)married Louisa Fanny Puxley b 1884 in Jan 1910 Hackney.
His father`s name given also John Mitchell , Hatmaker.
I would like the wife and any other family of John snr also his parents and family.
On freeBMD I found a Jane Allington married to a John Mitchell Sept 1879 London City 1c 97 I don`t know if this could be the right person.

Thank you
Sheila

You're welcome Sheila, I'm just frustrated that I can't find a marriage for Fanny and Philip - maybe they never got round to troubling the vicar?

Thank you MarieCeleste the date you found for Thursia L matches with the 1901 census that I was given by a relation that was of no use to her.
The extra information you have given me is a great help.

Thank you so very much.
Sheila

I have just been looking at the uncle of Philip jnr William Rothwell and his wife is Thurzia( spelt different ways) Winter b Bampton the same place as Fanny,I think they could be sisters .
Could someone please check to see if this is the Fanny married to Philip Puxley snr.
Thank you
Sheila

I think this would be worth checking out. I think this Philip may be the brother of Francis and also the man that your Philip is named for. Also the son Philip on this census may be the Sawyer who had children baptised around the same time as your Philip's daughter Maud was baptised.

Hi MarieCeleste,Sorry missed post from Rootie before my last posting.

Thanks for all the help from everyone it is great as I have been struggling .
Anything else you find would be very helpful.

Thanks again.
Sheila

Hi Sheila, Rootie has posted Philip snr death above.

I'm currently struggling to find his marriage to Fanny ........

I think Philip Puxley ,Mathematical Instrument maker is the right person as son Philip was a Mathematical divider as was an uncle William Rothwell b Hoxton.1901 census..
Please would it be possible to find when father Philip died and who were his parents also parents of his wife.
Thanks to everyone for all your help.
Sheila

Yes, I thought that was possible MarieCeleste. For some reason I thought it odd that Fanny had Maud and Alfred baptised together after Philip's death. Wonder what excuse she gave the Vicar for Philip's absence at the baptism?

Rootie - I think the middle name of Ashworth may be an indication that Fanny had a relationship after Philip's death? Philip being named as father seems to be that phenomenon of a dead man being the father of his wife's subsequent children.

This looks like Philip's death - so not sure how he could be the father of Alfred Ashworth Puxley b. 1892?
