Billy Mitchell (loyalist)
Billy Mitchell (1939 – 20 July 2006) was a Northern Irish community activist and member of the Progressive Unionist Party. Mitchell was a leading member of the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and served a life sentence for his part in a double murder but later abandoned UVF membership and took up cross-community work.
==Early years==
Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1940 into a poor family, Mitchell's father died when he was two years old.〔 Although based in the Shankill Road during his adult life, Mitchell was raised just outside Belfast in what he described as "a wooden hut".〔Peter Taylor, ''Loyalists'', Bloomsbury, 2000, p. 49〕 The area, which at the time was the end of the city's tramline network, has subsequently been redeveloped as Glengormley.〔Susan McKay, ''Northern Protestants: An Unsettled People'', Blackstaff Press, 2005, p. 53〕
After leaving school Mitchell briefly worked as a copy boy on the ''Belfast Telegraph'' but found it difficult to advance his position and so left to work as a lorry driver.〔McKay, ''Northern Protestants'', p. 54〕 Mitchell was attracted to the message of Ian Paisley and in the mid 1960s joined the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster and served as a Sunday school teacher.〔 He had been raised as a member of the Baptist faith.〔Taylor, ''Loyalists'', p. 46〕
