Possibly came to Australia through Victoria. Robert Henry Mitchell married Annie Agnes Watson in Sydney in 1886. She was born in Cork Ireland, parents Garrett Watson and Margaret Noonan. Her siblings were Bridget, Elizabeth and Thomas. Came to Cootamundra in 1875. Her parents are buried in the local cemetary along with her grandfather Michael Noonan. Robert Henry Mitchell may have been born in Dublin in 1864 and came out to Australia as a lad most likely with family. Annie Watson passed away in 1889 (one child Margaret Irene born 1887. Robert Henry then married Jane Elizabeth Corrigan in 1894 and worked for NSW Railways. Passed away 1939. Any Mitchell or Watson family researchers help?
