Eric Mitchell

Giles was one of six children of Eric Mitchell and Nina (Evans) Mitchell, who were married in 1942 when they were actors in The Pilgrim Players of Canterbury — a touring theatre group performing throughout the UK. Eric became a microbiologist and later Director of Public Health at the City of London, living in Nottingham and London. After a divorce many years later, Eric eventually married Elizabeth Boswell at Narbonne, when living at his home in Ouveillan, France.
