Death of Eliza, his wife
Eliza Mitchell died on the 21st April 1883 in Fulbourn.
The juror book for 1883 lists John Grunwell Mitchell as a merchant and freeholder in Fulbourn.
On the 16th March 1887 he married Ann Sampson. Family stories suggest that she was his children's governess, and indeed there was an Annie Sampson living with the family in 1881 as the governess, who was ten years younger than him. In 1891 he and Annie are living in Great Yarmouth.
In 1881 he was living in Fulbourn, the census doesn't give the exact address, just listing it as Church Street. However it is between "The Hall" and William Knights house on Church Street, and then "The Harrow" and then Apthorpe Street (which misses out a lot of places). Other evidence suggests it might be 1 High Street, but it's still circumstantial (the High Street used to be called Church Street).
The 1881 census says that John G. Mitchell was 42, a Merchant, born in Wimblington, Cambridgeshire (near March). He was living with his wife Eliza (44, Cambridge), sons John J.J. (20) and Alfred H. (4), and daughters Eleanor M. A. (16), and Eliza K. (10). Also in the house were three servants, a governess, a cook, and a housemaid.
This puts his date of birth around 1839.
Previously in 1871 he was living on the High Street in Balsham, where he was a Corn and Coal merchant.
All his children were born in Balsham, apart from Alfred who was born in Fulbourn and was 4 years old in 1881, which means John moved to Fulbourn somewhere between 1871 and 1877.
Death
John Grunwell Mitchell died on the 4th December 1914 at 38, Camperdown, Great Yarmouth. Probate was granted to Annie Mitchell (wife).
