1815 Ann Mitchell born in the Isle of Wight : maybe baptised to Joseph Mitchel & Mary James on 24/9/1815 West Cowes Non conformist - this ties up with her marriage .

1841C.Ann Mitchell , 20, is living High Street, Northwood Isle of Wight - Northwood within a mile S of Cowes Ages rounded down, so she could be 24 . Her father, Joseph, is a Butcher, no other occupations given. Although there is a Newchurch ~5 k NW of Shanklin, Newchurch was also the name for the parish of Ventnor , so here we should read, High Street, Ventnor .
