Hi List, I'm wondering who owned the property at 20 Fitzroy Place during the 1830s to 1860s. I found a reference to a W.L. Rait (evidently William John Rait) owning 20 Fitzroy Place in the 1930s and traced this back through The List to land that seems to have been originally granted to Edward Dumaresq. However, the street may have been renumbered in the meantime. Would it be possible to ask for someone to look at early Post Office directories or some such to check for a name for owner of said property during said timeframe?

Sorry, just to be clear, that is 20 Fitzroy Place in *Hobart*.

Hello Douglas, Post Office directories only started in the 1890s so you are out of luck for lookup.

Hello Charles, Thanks for the tip. So maybe I can hope that someone will check the "some such" for me instead. :) Douglas On 14/08/2018 3:05 PM, Charles Hunt wrote: > Hello Douglas, > Post Office directories only started in the 1890s so you are out of luck > for lookup. > > Charles Hunt > > On Tue, 14 Aug 2018 at 15:53, Douglas Burbury <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Sorry, just to be clear, that is 20 Fitzroy Place in *Hobart*. >> >> On 14/08/2018 2:47 PM, Douglas Burbury wrote: >>> Hi List, >>> >>> I'm wondering who owned the property at 20 Fitzroy Place during the >>> 1830s to 1860s. >>> >>> I found a reference to a W.L.

Hi Douglas Fitzroy Crescent was originally called 'Garden Crescent' and there is a Sprent map for it (1840s). On-line at TAHO: http://search.archives.tas.gov.au/default.aspx?detail=1&type=I&id=AF393/1/3 I reconciled this map to modern street numbers some years ago. I'll see if I can find that work.

Dear Douglas, I remember researching in that area some years back and I think the Butlers owned property along Fitzroy Place. I am doing a small piece on my great grandmother who was born at Whetstone in Qld. That property was owned by one of the Dumaresq family and later by the Devine family also from Tasmania, Dumaresq also owned land at Longford. Not much help but interesting as to how far Tasmanians went in those early times. Another one was a descendant of Catherine Kearney who ended up here at Herberton. Always something interesting to find out no matter where you live. Regards Irene Irene Schaffer O.A.M.
