Title: RE: Elijah Wiltshire - born 1869 Tas. Places to find death record in Australia

Re: Elijah Wiltshire

Hi
I am looking for the death date of Elijah Wiltshire, who was born in Tasmania, Australia on February 11th 1869. I am on Ancestry.com and can't find any death record there and also none on Trove. I am wondering if there would be any other list to look at? He was the son of a convict, Abraham Wiltshire and a young girl named Emily Jane ROSE.

Any help with another source to find this information would be appreciated.


Daisy

A public tree on Ancestry has him living in Launceston in 1914, and unless you have information about him leaving the state,local BMD is your best bet(though not online).

All his records I can see in TAS from his birth in 1869 to 1937 are under the name of WILLSHIRE except for his burial in 1940 which is under WILTSHIRE.
