This is my great-great grandfather, Thomas Mitchell. Thomas was born in 1822 in Keynsham, Somerset.
Thomas was a stone mason, but I'm unsure as to what sort of work he actually did. In later life he was a grocer and beer seller. He married my great-great grandmother, Mary Lewis in 1844 and after her death from malignant smallpox in 1875 he married again to Elizabeth James the same year. Thomas died in 1905 aged 83 having lived most of his life in Horfield, Gloucestershire.
This photo was taken in 1878.
