1870 census:
[San Mateo:]

[Calvin Murray (38) resides with Lemuel (40) / Miranda (37) Murray and their daughter (5).
Calvin is unmarried. All b. VT, hence Calvin/Lemuel unlikely to be siblings of Michael (44) b. Ireland.]
[1870 SF: 12 John Mitchells, including:]

SF Ward 11, images 376-377 of 582:
[farmer John Mitchell (30), wife Mary, 4 laborers incl. Thomas Mitchell (27) b. Ireland ca. 1843,
birthdate suggests not the right Thomas Mitchell (this one ca. 5 years too old).]
[1870 SF: 6 Patrick Mitchells, only likely match is:]

[Presumably irrelevant; two Michaels, almost same age, maybe cousins?
This Margaret is presumably NOT Margaret Mitchell, although also born NY.]

[11 kids in all; Margaret's siblings include Edward and Catherine.
Edward 10 here, hence 40 in 1900, matching 1900 census.
Mary O'Keeffe's death notice Chron 5/05/1936:
nee O'Connor, native of Lewis County NY, living siblings
Ellen O'Connor / Margaret Mitchell / Julia McGinnis / James O'Connor (NY) / Michael O'Connor.
Sister Catherine's age matches Catherine Mitchell in 1880 census,
but that must be coincidence, as Catherine [Murray] Mitchell was born in Ireland.]

Margaret listed as having 8 children, all living; 6 listed here, Mary and Ellen in other censuses.]
[Joseph cannot be born 3 months after Annie. Edward b. 1889 misentered as female.]
