Henry George HOSEASON - Tasmania death look up

[cjthorpe]

Hello,

I'm trying to track down the death certificate for my great-uncle Henry George HOSEASON (b. 1902 Sunderland, UK. Immigrated to Australia in 1921.)
Have searched NSW, Qld death records plus Ryerson Index with no luck. However a recently added digital newspaper article suggests a H.Hoseason flew to Hobart in 1941.
We suspect he died in 1970s or early 1980s. Parents: Henry Hoseason and Annie Major.
Occ: Henry George HOSEASON worked in 1930s as a car salesman and repairer.

Would be grateful if someone could please look up the Tasmanian death records (not available online) for Henry George HOSEASON? 

Thanks CJ.

Thanks MumMum, for looking up those details but its actually his father Henry George Rugg Hoseason that you have found. He was a tentmaker/sailmaker in Sydney, and lived with his wife Annie and two daughters at Mosman.

My missing great uncle is called Henry George Hoseason (b.1902). Last known address was Qld in 1938-39.

Great uncle Henry George Hoseason does not appear to have died in NSW or Qld (I've checked those records). Suspect it was interstate rather than overseas.

Hoping someone is able to look up Tassie records as it looks like a possibility (and I can't access them online).   
Thanks CJ.

Hi,
I thought it was too easy, maybe if you contact the Tasmanian registry they can do a search for you and order the certificate at the same time.
I will have another look for electoral rolls in Tassie.

There dont appear to be any Hoseasons in Tassie at any stage, what makes you think Tasmania? What was his wifes name she may be easier to find.

Could someone have a look at South Australian rolls?

No death in South Australia to 1972, I'm afraid.

Hi,
I wonder if he went home again, I just checked the National archives to see if he served ww2, no record of him. I t may even pay to check the British records,

Hello MumMum and Dee,
Thank you so much for your help!
Yes, my great uncle Henry George Hoseason is a slippery one. If you search under his name in the digiticised newspapers on NLA you will find he has a police record for fraud. He drops off the Qld state electoral roll in 1938 and appears to have vanished despite having such an unusual surname. 
According to family rumour he married and had a daughter. However I can't find any record in Qld. His spinster sisters (older and younger) died in early 1980s. 
I've been checking the digitised Aust. newspapers regularly in case something comes up. When I noticed a H. Hoseason and possibly wife and child flying to Tasmania in 1941 - thought it could be a lead.
In the UK records, Henry Hoseason born.1910 died.1983 is his first cousin. I'm in touch with several family members in Sunderland, UK.
Cheers CJ
