Tasmanian obituary

[genie]

It is possible that the son of Amelia and James Beare emigrated to Australia.

There is a death notice for Richard Henry Beare husband of Mary of 50,Quayle Street,Sandy Bay and another notice saying that the funeral of the late Richard Henry Beare will move from the funeral parlour for the Cornelian Bay cemetery.
But I can't find an obituary.
Richard Henry died in 1936 and the service date was 19th November.

Is it possible that there wasn't an obit?

Hi,
I don't know if this is the done thing, but there seems to be some information on Richard Henry Beare on the following website www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=373443.msg2970540;topicseen

Regards,
Sita.

Hello Genie - it is always possible there was no obituary but at least in this case you have some records to assist you.

Sita - this is all about helping others on the site so your input is most welcome and certainly very useful.

I have just taken a look at the link you provided and it would appear Genie should be able to find much of the required information there.

Well done!

Thank-you both.
I have found that info on rootschat but was hoping that in the newspaper was also an obit.

I looked at the IGI today and found that there was a Richard Henry Beare born in Beaconsfield, Tasmania so all of the information I have found re:obits,marriages etc does not relate to my Richard Henry Beare.

Back to the drawing board and another Beare wiped off the family tree.

Someone had a look for me and they couldn't find any Richard Beare being born in Tasmania so it is a good chance that he is the one I am looking for.

The 'garden path' needs some weeding I think!!!

I have just had a look at IGI for Richard Henry Beare and it seems some nice 'kind patron' has been adding a bit of their own unsourced material!

There are four unsourced entries for a Richard J Beare in Randwick, NSW - born 1884, married 1906, died 1909.

Just thought I would mentioned that as a matter of possible interest.

However the one you are interested in has four entries:-

1. Richard Henry Beare - Birth 1865 Beaconsfield, Tasmania - UNSOURCED

2. Richard Henry Beare -
Birth 1865 Beaconsfield, Tasmania
Death 18Nov1936 Hobart, Tasmania
Spouse Mary Elizabeth Jenkin
Marriage 07Feb1891 Beaconsfield, Tasmania

All UNSOURCED

3. Same as the last one only linked by the marriage entry.

4. This one is the ONLY one which has an IGI Batch Number (M310488)

RICHARD HENRY BEARE age 26 married MARY ELIZABETH JENKIN age 21 7th February 1891 TASMANIA

There is no mention of an actual town.

Now - using the Archives Search Portal - Tasmania - I found something interesting.

This site is linked to the Tasmanian Government Archives site and the detail shown here for the marriage does actual mention that it took place at Beaconsfield.

There are also three children mentioned.

To save mucking around I will add the link for you so that you can check it for yourself.

But first of all there is one line of information at the bottom of the page which states:-

"Dates of birth which do not give a place are based upon age at death or marriage and therefore may not be accurate. "

Here is the link -

portal.archives.tas.gov.au/menu.aspx?search=8

Just enter BEARE in the surname box anh RICHARD HENRY in the given names box and hit enter/send.

You will then be presented with the search results to the left of which will be an underlined number in blue.

Click on that number and you will get the rest of the information with any further links highlighted.

I have been on that site and found Richard's children and eventually I found the grandchildren of Richard Beare.
The sons of Robert William and Trixie Beare. Robert ( I have no information about him),Peter Ralph Beare who died in 2008 in Melbourne and Geoffrey Walter Beare who died in 2007 Melbourne but I don't know where they were born.
I asked for an obit look-up on the Ryerson index and Peter Ralph was a president of the Blackburn visual impaired club and Geoffrey was a past president and life member of the Babirra Music Theatre.
