Title: Newspaper death notice - New Zealand & Bristol papers please copy
Post by: viking57 on Monday 22 July 13 05:28 BST (UK)

I have found a death notice in the Launceston, Tasmania "Examiner" newspaper.

Launceston Examiner Wed 20 July 1881
DEATHS.
BURSTON—On the 19th July, at his residence, Brisbane-street, Mr William Burston, aged 72 years. (New Zealand and Bristol papers please copy.)

Would this mean that he had previously lived in both these places.

Regards
Garry

Thanks for the reply
Thought there had to be some connection and I hadn't noticed the Tas State Archives entry.
Gives me somewhere to look now.
