Patrick Mitchell 1811-1875

Margaret:

Many Co. Galway RC parishes do not have records back to 1811. I did check the subscription site Roots Ireland and there were three Patrick Mitchel/Mitchell baptismal records in Co. Galway around 1811 (the first record is not very helpful). 

April 1809 (no day provided) Menlough RC parish  no parents names provided

March 2 1810 Rahoon RC parish father David Mitchel mother no name provided

March 14 1812 Cappatagle RC parish father Thomas Mitchell mother Anne Lynch

Since you have not found his parents names, you may want to consider DNA testing to see if you have matches with people with Mitchell connections who know more about the family in Ireland.

Margaret,

Do you know any of the following?

--wife of Patrick

--siblings of Patrick

--names of other children

--birthplace of John (Ireland or Australia)?

--date of emigration to Australia

If so, it might be helpful in identifying your Patrick in the records.
