[edit] Date of death discrepancy in references

There appears to be a discrepancy in the date of death for Henry Dobson among the main references. The Australian Dictionary of Biography gives the date as 10 October 1918, however the Tasmanian Parliament profile and Australian Parliamentary Library say 10 October 1919. The article originally said 1919, but I have changed it to the ADB's date as they actually cite a reference as being The Mercury of 11 October 1918. I'll try and check that copy of The Mercury at the State Library of Victoria (or Tasmania next time I'm in Hobart). --Canley (talk) 04:28, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I've checked the microfilm of The Mercury at the library, and there is a funeral notice for Henry Dobson in the 11 October 1918 edition. --Canley (talk) 09:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
