First let me say that I am not related to this family, but I did find a John J. Mitchell, age 13, on the 1930 census for Pennsylvania, Clearfield County, Lawrence Township, ED#17-49; Sheet #20A; dated April 19, 1930, that falls into about the right time frame for your grandfather, but no guarantees that this is actually him, it can be a starting point for you though.
It lists the following on lines 32-40:
MITCHELL, JOHN J., head of household, age 35 (age 18 at first marriage), owned his home, was born in PA as were his parents; occupation-coal miner.
ANNA, wife of head, age 33 (age 16 at first marriage), born in PA; her parents were both born in England.
Next is a listing of their children, all born in PA.
JOHN J., son, age 13(possibly your grandfather)
ANNA M., daughter, age 11
ESTHER V., daughter, age 9
NORMA V., daughter, age 7
LOIS J., daughter, age 5
WILLIAM A., son, age 4
ALMA J., daughter, age 2years 1 month
Good luck.
