William Mitchell
published by on Thu, 11/07/2013 - 16:00

My 2x Great Grandfather William Mitchell was born in Bleadon in 1827 and was a fisherman, I have found he was the Master of a vessel called Lively in 1871, I would be interested to know if he was a local fisherman where he would have sailed from and what would he have been fishing for at this time or any history of the fishing community at this time. Also how can I find out if he and other family members when they died were buried in Bleadon churchyard. Any info would be great.
