Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Assuming the above family is correct then... Thomas Mitchell married a Hannah Eliz.Watson Marriage Reg. Tynemouth March 1885. The children b S.Shields were all Baptised St Hilda's Church. Esther Richardson Mitchell. Reg S.Shields March quarter 1886 James M = James Mathew Ellen H=Ellen Harle You can find all Thomas and Hannah's children on Free BMD... It looks like Esther followed the same names through when she married Both Atkinson Terrace and Woodbine Ave. still exist in Wallsend....
