Possible marriage in 1855 for John Mitchell to Mary A Banks

But no Elizabeth shown with this family - can find same family in 1871 and again no Elizabeth so will have to rule them out

Really struggling with this

I am not sure if that is her or not, her father was a muslin weaver. I have witness to Elizabeth marriage if thats any help James Moore and M.E. Hair.
I have to go and get tea now but will be back at 6.

Rule out this one in 1871 as she has parents of Walter and Elizabeth in 1861

Yes that the right family but Peters birth place was transcribed wrong he was born Auchenleck Aryshire

Daughter Elizabeth Mitchell born approx 1856. she married Peter Connelly I have them in 1901 living Hamilton. Daughter was 23 when she married. and that was in Catrine Sorn parish

Name, age and birthplace of daughter would be useful.

Which census have you found the family on ?

Please could you help me find a marriage between John Mitchell born approx 1836 to Mary Boris (Bards or Baras ) born 1836 approx Boris is the name on death cert of daughter but on daughter marriage cert it looks different daughter married 1879 in Scotland and on census it says she was born Catrine Ayrshire. But I cant find anything for her parents birth deaths or marriage, and on daughter marriage cert both parents where deseased.
Many thanks for any help.
