Hi Jim, there are a number of records you might search for information on Joseph Hone’s role in the Southern Volunteer Artillery. These are located within the archives of the Volunteer Forces: /Record/Archives/TA1105 and in the series ‘E L Crowther – Personal and Business Records (CRO19)’: /Record/Archives/CRO19

Do you have any further information about membership in the Artillery of Joseph Hone (1784-1861). I
An article in the Mercury reporting on his funeral states that he was a member of the “Artillery and Second Rifle Corps” – .
Do we know anything about his role in the Artillery? Perhaps it was purely social given that he was Master of the Tasmanian Supreme Court (1824-1836, 1840-1851), and also held other legal roles including Attorney-General for a short period.

Hi Michelle. We think it is probably 97 Elizabeth Street. The upper storey of the building nextdoor has a sandstone facade that has survived and appears to be a good match.
