Notes: William Mitchell went from being an Ag Lab in 1841, living in
Woodlesford, to being a brewer in 1851 living at Bentley Brewery Oulton.
How did he manage this? Did he inherit the brewery? Who was living at
Bentley Brewery Oulton in 1841 - would be worth looking at this census.
From the birth of the children, it looks like they moved about 1844.


Note: It might be worth looking for Mitchell's in 1841 in
Astley/Swillington/Kippax

Census record for 1881 confirms that William Mitchell died before 1881,
indicating the his death may have occurred in 1873, as Peter
Featherstone's notes suggest. As he seems to have been a wealthy farmer,
so may have left a will.

Death registers show the death of a William Mitchell of the right age but
there is no entry in the probate calendars for 1873 or the 5 years after
that. Mary Mitchell died in 1890. She left a will but it does not give
much information. Sarah Mitchell went to live with her sister Eliza
Pickersgill at the Old Castle Brewery in Pontefract.

The book on pubs from the Pontefract musuem shows that the Pickersgills
were at the Castle Brewery from 1878 - 88 and that Eliza Pickersgill was
'in charge' for a while, followed by W Pickersgill and Co. Later, Eliza's
son Earnest Edward Pickersgill seems to have taken over and to have been
there until the 1940s. A posting to the WRY list did not elicit any
responses from potential decendants. There is a list of Pickersgills
still in Pontefract, on the electoral register on the other computer.
Maybe a mailshot?

William married Turner, Mary on 21 Aug 1831 in St Peters Church, Leeds, , Yorkshire, England.
