- Visiting the family of Robert Mitchelmore and his wife Frances Perring Mitchelmore nee Hutchings. Both Robert and Frances were born Cornworthy; I thought they might be relatives but there is no obvious connection between William and the family.

Siblings1 brother and 2 sisters Patriarch & Matriarch 
Notes - (Research):The gap in children between the 3 baptised when William and Catherine were living in Woodford, and the 3 baptised when they were living in Milcombe suggests they may have lived somewhere else, outside of Blackawton parish, in between.

The 1851 census suggest they may have had a dau Caroline - the census shows a 22 yr old Caroline living with her bro Wm and family. But I think this should probably be Catherine i.e. Sarah Catherine.
