Person:William Boag (2)

When the eldest son George William Boag was drowned off the north coast of Tasmania, William Boag walked the coastline from Low Head to Bridport looking for him. John Shepherd October 2007

William may have been in a home as early as 1914, as Ellen is living with son Linton. On the 1914 Electoral roll there is a William Boag, no occupation at York St, Launceston. This may have been the address of the Home he was in.
