Hello
My cousin down under in Australia, needs information about a THOMAS MITCHELL ...born around 1795 (I gather this is a guess) - North Tawton.
She believes he married a GRACE FRIEND in or about 1819 in North Tawton.
What she is looking for is ''Birth record and date and place of parents etc - if there is any information available''.
With kind regards
Richard

Where has your friend obtained those details from? e.g. 1851 census, marriage in the North Tawton parish register, marriage in an index (if so, which one?), Australian marriage or death certificate?
It's always helpful if we know how reliable the information might be. e.g. so many people assume that when the marriage PRs before 1837 say someone was 'of this parish' that they were born there when it simply means they were living there at the time of the marriage.

Hello Richard, it would help the search if you ask your friend how she got back to Thomas Mitchell, I presume she has traced back through a few generations, the names, places of birth and approx years of birth please, we then have something to work with.
I did find these baptisms which took place at North Tawton, all with parents Thomas and Grace. Spellings as per parish registers which are available to view on 'Family Search'.

There was another Thomas/Grace couple in Devon having children around the same time, we therefore have to be careful.
Thomas Mitchell married Grace Mander 25 Sep 1821 at Plymouth St Andrew.Alma
