Australia Resources & Offers / Re: Applying for a death certificate in Tasmania
« on: Sunday 13 July 25 04:51 BST (UK)  »
Let me know if I can be of any assistance. I have just had success in tracing more about my great-grand aunt's life, which I would have thought to be nigh on impossible. I found her partner's certificate.  He died in regional QLD.  I took a punt on one, always tricky as they just have C for country or even some areas of outer Brisbane. SUCCESS ...

I received both certificates within  7- 9 days.  As Wivenhoe suggested, there is quite limited information on death certificates unless you never married.

Family name of deceased
Given Name(s)
Date of death
Place of death
Occupation
Date of birth/age at death
Gender
Usual place of residence
Place of birth

Relationship status at death
Issue - of all relationships - Living males, Deceased males, Living females, Deceased females

Marriage details
Name and family name of last spouse
Age at each marriage

Names of parents

If born overseas - Period of residency in Australia

Date Registered
Registration
Registration officer/district

Endorsements

Cause of death

Medical Attendant

Informant

Many of these categories were "not stated" on the actual certificate. The birthplace was given non-specifically as Tasmania in both cases.

Issue - numerical values rather than the names of children.

Spouses - not stated. No marriage information. Apart from Richard's age at marriage.

Parents and spouse -  not stated.

Nanna52 - the informants were the Undertakers.

I was also able to confirm that there was a death certificate for Richard for 1934.  I had seen another family member who died later than that so I assumed it did not exist. Further to this:

"Most death records from 1930 onwards are still only held by Births, Deaths and Marriages, as they are not yet in a digital format that can be loaded into the Names Index. Digitisation work is underway that will see historical records gradually being added to the Names Index, so they can be accessed more easily in the future".

Good luck, Nanna :)

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Bonnitcha DNA matching
« on: Sunday 29 June 25 05:59 BST (UK)  »
Sarra and I communicated a lot offline and discovered the person that she was researching for had a connection to the Bonnitcha's through the Bell line.

I have recently been looking into it again, and I think the people that my family has shared DNA matches with, in Tasmania and Canada, must have the nearest common ancestors of:
 
John Watson and Margaret Fraser married in July 1795 in the parish of Avoch in Ross-shire, Scotland.
John per 1851 Census born abt 1767 Avoch
Margaret of Kirkhill parish, Inverness-shire at the time of the marriage. No death found and not on Census.

I wish I knew how it connected through to us, but I think the above couple are likely to be the parents of Ann Watson who married Donald Fraser.

This should avoid you having to provide you own documents as identification.  A big thank you to Ann O at the Department of Justice Tasmania BDM for prompt email help.

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.

Too many James Moody's.

The first James Moody to Tasmania was James Moody who married Ann Barnes in 1834.

James Moody (1836 - 1924) is their eldest child.

The first James Moody was a convict. 

Don't worry.

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...
