My relative John MITCHELL was born in Banffshire c 1810/2 (I am certain of his county of birth as it is recorded on his grave stone) and moved to Liverpool. On his marriage certificate it says his father is Alexander, a wood forester. I have done some searching on Scotland's People and the best I can find is John Mitchell b 1812 To Alexander and Anne Stuart in Mortlach. It says abode is E(a)rnfold. I cannot find this. Is it likely to be in a woody area? Any thought please
