In October 1912 a fire broke out at the Mt Lyell Mine in Gormanston, Tasmania and 43 lives were lost. This Royal Commission reported on the cause or causes of the accident.
Censuses were undertaken in Tasmania in 1837, 1838, 1842, 1843, 1848, 1851 and
1857. Most of the individual returns (the forms recording details of
each household) have not survived, but those which have are very useful
to historians.
