Look up death in Tasmania

[KerriC]

Hi All,
Hoping someone maybe able to look up a death in the years 1900- 1928 for James Thomas / Thomas James Williams. He was born in1874 in Victoria son of Joseph Sloburn Williams and Harriet Barnett.He married in1896 to Lily Amelia Mc Nally and they had 3 children in Victoria.I have recently found Lily Amelia Williams remarrying in 1929 in Victoria.Stating a widow 16 Dec 1902.
On Trove there is a notice in the Launceston Examiner 22 May1920 asking him to come home ? He is a bit of a mystery so any help would greatly appreciated
with thanks Kerri

Nothing for your WILLIAMS death in Dec 1902...also checked to see if registered 1903.

There is this one

WILLIAMS Thomas James
At Zeehan 2 Feb 1914  Reg#986

Unfortunately information on certs is not always reliable.

Sue I think it means that Lily's mother is very ill as his mother and Harry are deceased.

MISSING FRIENDS. - Thomas James WIILLIAMS, late Rutherglen, please come home. Mother very ill. Your Mother and Harry dead.

Yes, yes, that makes sense now.
Well sort of
It is 3 years after his mother died so he had been gone a while!

Kerri what was his occupation?

Thomas and Lily are at Rutherglen on the 1903 electoral roll, Thomas is a miner.  By 1909 the rest of the family is still there but Thomas and Lily aren't.

Thanks everyone,

Only A guess but thought he may have been mining in Tassie re Add.On his marriage cert at his occupation was a carter. Also a bankruptcy at Rutherglen.
(On Trove)
I also wondered  if the date was wrong at the 2nd marriage hence the time frame for the look up.I havent found Lily's death, (which would help) her married name was Adams.Her second Husband was William Edward Adams and he is buried  with his 2nd wife at fawkner. (DEc 1938) Have his death cert.
