I search for evidence of John Mitchell, born in Wellington in 1833. His wife, Ann (?), was apparently born in 1840 at Shelton, Shropshire.They moved to Prescot in Lancashire where they both eventually died.

Hi Eve, well you have wrong area, and that's when you went wrong, although one census it did say WELLINGTON, SHROPSHIRE. John pob is WELLINGTON in SOMERSET, NOT IN SHROPSHIRE ! [ Nr. Taunton ] I have tracked him on the 1841 census; also 1851,1871,1881,1891,1901, POSSIBLE dies 1902, PRESCOT? Can't find marriage though to Ann.

Any help?

Hello there Angela - I have been drawing a real blank in the Shropshire direction, but the other day Somerset cropped up, and I have to admit that I dismissed it. Hailing from Lancashire myself and now living in Wells - 15 miles from Wellington.........- it all seemed a bit bizarre! However, I am very grateful to you for nudging me back in that direction! Many thanks, and best wishes.

You're very welcome Eve, sometimes you get there in the end but I couldn't understand why I couldn't find him in the records, that's why you have to think outside of the box sometimes and so I just didn't put Shropshire where born and heh presto, it came up WELLINGTON, SOMERSET. I didn't even know there was a Somerset one ! Also, may have thrown you because one census it did say Wellington, Shropshire, so even census people got it wrong !
