Class: steerage
lived in Wellington ACHT
PPA Free Lance, Volume III, Issue 126, 29 November 1902, Page 3
Mr. William Mitchell, who passed away on Saturday last, was variously known among the old identities of the city as "Old Bill " as "The Whisperer," and as "Tiger Mitchell." "Old" William certainly was, for he had attained more than the allotted span of years, being eighty-two when he died. He was jocularly dubbed the Whisperer" because of hisi penetrating voice. He was nicknamed "Tiger" because he was the proprietor of tine Royal Tiger Hotel, which house he ran himself for about a decade. Mr. Mitchell was a Yorkshireman, and he had the full share of that county's love for cricket, a game to which he was ardently attached throughout his life. There was no keener critic who sat on the benches of the Basin Reserve than "Old Bill "
Mr. Mitchell was one of the passengers of the ship Gertrude, which dropped her anchor in Wellington harbour away back in 1841. In the days when the Maoris threatened to descend uoon Wellington the Mitchell "boys" ? Bill, Harry, and Jim? became militiamen, like the rest of the men folk of this community. They also did' business in those days with the troops, for they secured, the contract to supply their firewood. The wood was Kewu from the bush which m those days clothed tlie district now known as Mitchelltown. This land was acquired by Mr. Henry Mitchell, after whom tihe district became known. He cleared the land and sold it in sections. Mr. Henry Mitchell, who is still a resident in Wellington , is one of the early settlers who has prospered with the growth of the city. Mr. Wm. Mitchell had greait misfortune with his family, no less than three, of whom met with sudden and violent deaths. One son gave great promise of becoming a cricketer of more than. average ability but he was out off m the flower of his youth. Some ten years ago. one son was drowned in a boating: accident in Evans Bay. Subsequently, another son. died as the result of an accident! in tihe country. The lately-deceased was highly respected, being recoonised as a straight-living man, of a rugged, sturdy independence. He was a staunch and very old adherent of the Taranaki-street Wesley Church. William (Tiger) Mitchell had person sources.3 He was a Brickmaker in 1841.4 He immigrated to ENG to NZ on the Gertrude arriving NZ 30/10/1841 on 19 June 1841.4
