Hi RK, I believe that he was born in Scotland (not Ireland) in 1880. I was looking for his brother, (David Grant Mitchell) for many years. I finally found his grave site in England. Now I am trying to find William, to complete their family tree. I have been in touch with their relatives in Scotland and Australia. Once the two brothers left home, they were never heard from again! I knew they were living in Toronto, but not together. I have their death certificates. William's does not give any names at all. He is buried in Mount Hope Cemetery in Toronto - an unmarked grave. I wanted to find an obituary or a death notice hoping to find other family members of his. I am beginning to think now that there isn't an obituary because his name and death have been mentioned so often in these newspaper articles. I have never been able to find anything about William, I don't even know when he arrived in Canada, I only know when and how he died.
So anything that anyone can find would be a great help to me. I will try your suggestion of looking at the Library and Archives Canada site and see if I can find anything. Thank you for that suggestion.
