1901 Census George Hy Mitchell abt 1872 Tipton, Staffordshire, Head Lucy Mitchell abt 1869 Wednesbury, Staffordshire, Wife (Maiden Name Madeley) Lucy Elizabeth Mitchell abt 1894 Wednesbury,, Daughter (Married Joseph Holmes b 1894) Percy Mitchell abt 1896 Wednesbury, Son May Mitchell abt 1898 Wednesbury, Daughter Elenor Mitchell abt 1900 Wednesbury, Daughter Address: 15, Bridge St, Wednesbury.

Richard has now given me access to his tree. It is ok ... and he seems to know what he is doing ... so I will try and take him through it one step at a time. Forgive me IF I add details to this thread that may have already beeen added/found. Its just my way of quick reference. I will keep everyone updated on progress. He now needs to alter Lucy Holmes b 1893 to Lucy Mitchell as her father is George H Mitchell. He hasn't got the Mother, so he needs to add Lucy Madeley as wife of George and mother of Lucy. Thats what I have left him to do. Elaine :-)

Can't find William Mitchel(l) in 1871 or 1861

At the moment, all I can say is that Richard has NOT added siblings to his tree. Its VERY simple .. he's just adding parents to everyone. I'm HOPING that he may be brave enough to start adding siblings at some stage, but I need to find out HOW confident he actually is at altering/adding to his tree. At this moment in time, he hasn't made contact back with me .. and nothing has changed on his tree. I think we can relax just a little bit ... but I hate to speak too soon. Cheers Christine ... I would have to go back through the thread to check which info we already have ... and in between cups of coffee, tv, getting wasps from daughters bedroom, hearing all about next door neighbours holiday, I really haven't found the time !!! LoL. It all helps ! Elaine :-)

Just a reminder guys, Ive posted 1881/91/01 census details for the mitchells, marriage ref for George H and Lucy is there too. (page 2) DD, Jess, Tracy and others you deserve a medal for all this work! If you need/want me to follow up on anything regarding the Mitchell's let me know. Ive looked for William and Mercy Mitchell in 1871, but as George H their son wasnt born till around that time, his parents may not appear as married/together in that census! Lib:))

There are a few Joseph Tranters marrying in Dudley district on Ancestry, both times to a Mary (helpful or what!) March 1839 (Mary Powers) December 1854 (Mary Allen) Couple of deaths (1842 and 1843) again in Dudley for Mary Tranter, no ages given.

THANK YOU x I have Richard messaging me again ... but he still has NOT updated his tree. I have a feeling that he doesn't intend doing so ... as he keeps telling me that he is writing information down .... he is sending for some certificates - so I have told him to contact me again when he has received them. Elaine :-) I am on General Board at the moment ...waiting anxiously for Wendy to get in touch. She didn't turn up for a 'meet' in Yorks this dinner time and we are all worried about her. Sorry if I don't reply straight away - I am hopping between the boards, the messages, e.mails and family at mo !!

Re; Richard ordering certificates. Richard says he has a printer but it isn't working at the moment and as he seems unable to order certs online I'm not sure what advice to give him. Heather

I am so suprised he hasn't sussed this yet! have asked Alter to remove that comment too (on the other thread) THANKS ALTER! xx jess x

Hi Heather/Jess, Heather, I really don't know what to say. He is NOT stupid, that I do know !! He's quite an intelligent guy when all is taken into consideration. I think he just can't be arsed, and is so OBSESSED with doing his FT that he wants the info TODAY and can not wait. Jess, I wonder sometimes if he DOES know about this thread ... if he doesn't then he is MORE INTELLIGENT than we give him credit for, because if he is using 'notes' then he is doing a damn good job ... better than I could ever hope to do. Maybe change the thread title to something else and throw him off a little ?? What comment did Alto Ego put on the thread please ? Elaine :-0

Elaine No definitely not stupid. I explained to Richard a few days ago about how to order certs from westmidlands bmd. There is an order form with names and places already printed on, all you have to do is fill in your own name and address and send cheque or postal order and SAE. But he has no printer!!!! Heather

Alter said something alone the lines of ''would you like us to come and plump your pillows too'' I asked him to remove it (by PM) and he did . I suggest we answer replies like that from richard with a simple ; ''NO YOU DO IT YOURSELF''. Short and to the point. if anyone else pops up and chips in the info, let them , otherwise just ignore Jess x

Cheers ! GARBETT Jane JONES William West Bromwich Register Office Sandwell WBRO/29/98 I've just given this info to Richard on his thread. Wendy has now appeared safe and well after getting lost ...so I can go and look after MY family for a short time. Rabbits, Cats and Kids to sort ... so I'll be back later... not forgetting X Factor ! (sorry ...thats not done my street cred any good has it ! !!! lol ) Elaine :-)
