HOBART DEATHS
12th March 1850 to 20th May 1853
Reel No. 149: 35/3.
While two men are said to have died, only Edward Smee can be identified in these sources. The others are all entered as pensioner's children but there seems to have been only one pensioner death. Entries are again numbered consecutively - Brophy is 1821, Stanley is 1822, Fitzgerald is 1823, Haddon is 1824, Egan is 1825, Smee Snr is 1826, Smee Jnr is 1827, Carroll is 1828 and Hiskey (perhaps should read Hickey) is 1829.

pensioner's child, died 12th June 1852 (no cause of death entered)

marasmus 8th September 1852
HISKEY, Thomas, 41 years, labourer, died of disease of the heart
30th August 1852 Last entry same day at end of Berwick Castle registration block in
Hobart Registers so he may be the other Fencible who died rather than Richard Gadney.
He is in the right age bracket and has a likely description.
