February 13, 2017 at 9:04amThe council published assessment rolls annually starting in the 1850s which, except for the earliest ones, list the occupier of the property. However, they’re sorted by street and they’re not available online. They also don’t have street numbers until late int he century because there weren’t any, but it’s usually possible to work out the location from the known buildings.
So, if you have a street you could get someone to look them up for you. (I note the birth for one of their children has them in Cimitiere St, that might be a place to start.) Also, it’s worth searching the newspapers on Trove for the names, as that sometimes gives their street, particularly is there is trouble with neighours.

July 20, 2017 at 4:59amIf you contact the Launceston Reference Library with your query, they will happily look them up for you. They have all of the Launceston Assessment rolls printed out. As mentioned before, the street numbers changed a few times in the 1800’s before becoming what they are now in the early 1900’s if I remember correctly. The staff should certainly be able to track your relations and the house by its location within the street and adjoining landmark buildings eg. pubs. Their email is launceston.reference@education.tas.gov.au

May 13, 2017 at 4:26pmMajor Harvey Welman’s daughter married Captain Owen Ward at Holy Trinity Launceston on 25th May 1847. Harvey Welman died on 3rd May 1869 aged 86. How can I find out where he is buried as family members from the UK are visiting Tasmania in October 2017. Is he buried in a graveyard at Holy Trinity Church??
Monissa Whiteley
May 14, 2017 at 11:05pmI believe he’s buried in the old Anglican cemetery in Cypress St. (This one http://monissa.com/ccphotos/anglican-cemet…-st-launceston/ )
Unfortunately, there are no headstones on site. I put what I do know about the burial information in another comment on that post.

July 20, 2017 at 4:32amHe is definitely buried in the old Cypress Street Cemetery in section A, Mr Welman’s ground. I am researching this cemetery, ready to publish in about 6 months the listing of burials
