I have had a reply from Tas BDM within 24 hours. I will post about this later as I am on my phone and  waiting to start work.
If you would still like to apply for the certificate Nanna52, I can forward you the email. Just PM me.
Basically, it said that you do not have to provide the documents if it is beyond 25 years  I will have to see if her method works, or there is still an indication that you do.

A lot of people with Tasmanian Ancestry would be interested if they offered a more modest price. They probably do not have the staff to handle it. I have written to them about it. I did read somewhere that they were working on a database.

I am on the mainland.

The Tasmanian Names Index is fabulous and I have always found the librarians/archivists will get back to me with great information. Not that I have bombarded them.  They are really helpful.

Swings and roundabouts...

Wivenhoe, are you psychic?

Three of the siblings who died after 1914:

James Moody died 18 Feb 1924 at 13 Harrington Street, Hobart, Tasmania is one of the certificates I was after.

Richard Moody died 28 Jul 1934 at 74 King Street, Sandy Bay - no birth or baptism found and probably no death registration either. There is a death notice on Trove. Not on the list of those found in the Queensborough Cemetery exhumations. I find it so sad.

Elizabeth Hunter (previously Moody) died 22 Jun 1916 in Benevolent Asylum Dunwich QLD.  Parents listed as James Moody, Farmer, and Ann Murray.  Had a terrible life.

I know that their mother is meant to be Ann Barnes. I do not agree with the parents people have found for her. 

Yes, and you need to upload your documents.

I was thinking of applying for some death certificates from Tasmania. Tasmania does not have an online BDM database. The Tasmanian Names Index is the substitute at the present time or death notices in newspapers.

The fees are very expensive $AUD57.97 for a Standard certificate increasing to $59.21 from 1 July 2025.

The other issue is that they say that you have to provide your own personal information to prevent fraud. It does say that if the death is more than 25 years ago anyone can apply, but they still want to know what your relationship to the deceased person is. The certificates I wanted are from 1924 and 1934.

The sort of documents that want to prove you, the applicants, identity is the type of information from three different categories that you would provide for a police check e.g birth certificate, drivers license, Medicare card.

I ticked not applicable but it still insisted on agreeing with this to proceed.

What are they doing with the information collated?  No other state does this.
