Note

Age at the date of the marriage bond is 26, indicating a birth date of 1729/30. However his wife may have been bapt. 1727 (see note to her entry).
Burke's Commoners shows his ancestry as: "Francis Mitford of Hexham, whose father was a cadet of the house of Mitford, espoused an Ogle of Kirkley, and thus allied himself to the Greys, Dacres, Bennets, and to most of the other great Northumbrian families." As an earlier marriage to a Miss Ogle has not been found no such connection is shown in the tree.
