Find Ancestors

I’m afraid that it was fairly obvious that she was not in any way connected, but at least you know now for certain.

I would still strongly recommend getting the naval record

Hi Erika H

I managed to get certificates for births and marriages and The Mary Mitchell is definately not connected to the Duncan Kennedy Mitchell I was looking for.

I have decided that maybe its time to put my search to rest.but I would like to say a massive thank you for all your help.

Your tree on Ancestry does not include birth year info for your grandfather

Did he leave a Will which went to Probate? If so, was any reference made to his namesake son?

Come back when you receive the birth cert..and give serious consideration to getting the naval record

I would not just contact someone out of the blue,for me thats a definate no no..
No matter how desperate I am to find relalives,

Use credits on GR to see the address. Electoral Rolls are under Search at top right of this page.

BUT -
please read ErikaH's post above.

Please consider that she is the child of the man born in 1932 (which is much more likely) before you even think of contacting her. Wait till you get the birth certificate you say you sent for, to avoid upsetting anyone.

so she is still alive..was there an address on the ER for her ? sorry to keep asking.. :-)

Mary M Fowler, nee Mitchell, is on the 2025 ER in Fife.

The Fife birth is almost certainly a child of the man born in 1932

As did his WIFE.......record posted some days ago

You should read again ALL the info on your OTHER thread

Look for her in Electoral Rolls

We can't do any more than you can, TBH

I have managed to find a child for Duncan Kennedy MItchell,,,,,,Mary McDonald Kennedy Mitchell born 1960 in FIfe,I have sent for the certificate just to verify..Mary married in 1979 to George Knox |Fowler.Would appreciate any other information on Mary,,xx

The marriage in 1945 was to my mother.I have sent for the certificate of the 2nd marriage.
Duncan Kennedy Mitchell born 1936 died c1961 was the DKM ,senior.He was a master butcher and when his wife dies at the age or 36 from cancer he married his housekeeper.There was only 2 children to the 1st marriage the DKM i am looking for and his brother Alexander who emigrated to Canada with his wife and 2 boys,
My DKM never attended Alexanders wedding and was not heard from again.I was in touch with Alexander before his death.
I have a feeling he may have emigrated as I cannot find a death certificate anywhere in Scotland England or even Ireland..Thanks everyone..The search goes on x

Obviously a woman who had been married before, but no obvious record on SP

This quest is clearly important to you - you need to start buying certs

James Sommerville Mitchell died in 2010

The mother JANE died in 1936, so the subsequent marriages could have been for her husband, as opposed to her son,

To find out the facts, buy copy certs

Who registered the death of DKM senior?

He may have had a sister Agnes and a brother James. Have you considered researching them?

When the father died, did he mention Duncan in his Will?

If you think the marriages are for this man - get the certs to prove it

Two people other than you have him in GR trees - if you haven’t already done so, try to make contact

Can I say Massive thank you to everyone who has contributed.
I do know he was in the Merchant navy so that is definately something to go on..
The 2 marriages,one in 1945,would definatley be him and I had wondered if he had a 2nd marriage.
Duncan Kennedy Mitchell is my father who I have been trying to trace for many many years..I had only found out about him when I was 13 years old,and I never met him,
Too late now as he will have passed by now but my search still goes on for any children/grandchildren he may have had.
Once again big thank you for all your help.
Emily
