He was privately educated and also attended night school before beginning work at the Falkirk Iron Works at the age of 16. He then became a publisher and carried on this pursuit after he arrived in Queensland around 1882 before opening a bookshop in Maryborough.[1] He married Helen Allen Roughead[1] (died 1919)[2] in Falkirk and together had a son and two daughters.[1] He died in Maryborough in May 1923 with his funeral proceeding from his residence in Ferry Street[3] to the Maryborough Cemetery.[4] Public careerAfter spending time as an alderman on Maryborough City Council, Mitchell, a member of the Labour Party stood for the seat of Maryborough at the 1899 Queensland colonial election but finished in last place behind the other four contestants.[5] He ran again at the 1904 state election and this time, successfully as both he and fellow Labour candidate John Norman won positions in the two member electorate.[6] Mitchell remained the member for Maryborough until the state election of 1909 when both the Labour members lost their seat in parliament.[7] He stood again in 1912 but lost to Edward Corser by three votes.[8] Mitchell appealed the decision and another election was ordered for October that year. At the October election, the first count ended in a tied vote, with both Corser and Mitchell polling 1,792 votes. A recount was ordered and the result was Corser had won by two votes.[9] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=Former Members|publisher=Parliament of Queensland|year=2015| url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/former/bio?id=1095838345|accessdate=25 May 2016}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|au-qld}}{{s-bef|before= Henry Garde}}{{s-ttl |title= Member for Maryborough|years=1904–1909|alongside=John Norman, John Adamson}}{{s-aft|after=Edward Corser}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Mitchell, William}}2. ^[https://www.qld.gov.au/law/births-deaths-marriages-and-divorces/family-history-research/ Family history research] — Queensland Government births, deaths, marriages, and divorces.
