Document:
The census record for 1848 has G. H. Gladman living in a complete brick residence in Cameron Street, Launceston. While George was head of the house the proprietor was Mr. H[enr]y Reading. Seven individuals normally inhabited the house, comprised of four adults (all arrived free) and three children (all born in the colony). Using the stated religion there are two obvious groups, with a couple and their daughter being Church of Scotland, and another couple and their two sons being Other Protestant Dissenters. The latter group being the Gladmans, and the other couple potentially servants, we are left with the absence of Sarah Gladman, George and Sarah's oldest child and daughter.13 This lends further weight to later evidence that suggests Sarah didn’t survive infancy and so died before 1848.
In November 1851 George Humphrey Gladman appeared on the list of voters at the “late election”. George was described as a “clerk”.21 The following year, on 9 September 1852, Mr. G. H. Gladman was a cabin passenger on the Peri from Launceston to Geelong.22 The purpose of the voyage, or when he returned, is not known at this point.

More detail was provided about George's early life in another report of the funeral and later sermons.
Mr. Gladman's Funeral - The funeral of the late Town Treasurer, who died so suddenly on Thursday afternoon last, took place on Saturday. A short funeral service was conducted by the Rev. W. Law in the Prince's Square Chapel, after which the cortege, attended by the Municipal Council and officers of the Corporation, together with a large body of citizens, moved towards the cemetery. Before committing the remains of Mr. Gladman to their final resting place, Mr. Law read the impressive burial service, which was was listened to by a large concourse of people, many of whom exhibited signs of considerable emotion. On Sunday evening the Rev. W. Law preached a very impressive funeral sermon from Job, xxxviii. 17 - Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death? At the conclusion of his discourse the rev. gentleman give a brief memoir of the deceased, and mentioned a few of the more prominent incidents in his life.
FOUND DROWNED. Early on Saturday morning a gloom was thrown over the town by the news that Mr. George Humphrey Gladman's dead body had been found in the dock near the Market Wharf. Shortly after 11 o'clock that morning the steamn dredge, which was at work in that locality, brought to the surface the body, which was shortly after wards identified as that of Mr. Gladman. This gentleman had lately been employed as a shipping clerk, since when he has been in the habit of strolling about the wharf, and as he had been engaged to act in the same capacity for the bark Countess of Flint, it is surmised that he went to the wharf on Friday evening to discover her whereabouts, she being expected to reach the wharf, and there met his death. Mr. Gladman had spent the greater portion of his life in Launceston, being a universal favourite with a large circle of friends, and his melancholy death has caused a very general feeling of regret throughout the town.
Constable Robert White deposed he was on duty on the wharf on Saturday morning, and at a few minutes past eleven o'clock saw the body of deceased lifted by the dredge; he took possession of the body.
Samuel Pinnington, Foreman of Works, in the employ of the Marine Board, deposed he was standing on the wharf on Saturday morning observing the operations of the dredge at the extreme end of the wharf ; he saw the body of deceased brought up by the dredge; it was on top of the silt con tained in the dredge, which was working twenty or thirty feet from the edge of the piling of the wharf; the body was handed over to the police.
Dr. Charles J. Pike deposed he had that morning viewed the body examined by the jury; it presented all the appearances of a person who had met his death by drowning, and the rigidity of the muscles showed that it had been but a short time in the water; he was fully satisfied that death had resulted from drowning.
Arthur Matthew Gladman deposed he had viewed the body of the deceased, and identified it as that of his brother, George Humphrey Gladman ; he last saw deceased on Thursday night on the Brisbane-road; he lived in the same house as witness, but did not return home that night or since; deceased had been in the habit of walking round the wharf; he had some little time ago been at work on the wharf, and since then had been in the habit of walking there; he appeared quite sober when witness last saw him.
Bladen P. Hogg deposed he resided at the Enfield Hotel, and knew deceased; he last saw him at 9 o'clock the previous night at the corner of Brisbane and St. John streets; witness spoke to him and passed by ; afterwards saw him at the same place, and stayed with him about ten minutes; witness then wont home, and that was the last he saw of deceased, who was then perfectly sober.
DEATHS. GLADMAN.-On the 24th February, at her residence, George-street, Sarah, relict of the late George Humphrey Gladman, in her 78th year.
Just over five years later Thomas Gladman himself died on 2 April 1929 in New South Wales.62 His obituary appeared in the Launceston Examiner shortly after.
A former Launceston Council officer, who was associated with the civic affairs of the city for a very long period, has died at Mosman, Sydney, in the person of Mr. Thomas Gladman, at the age of 84 years. The death occurred at half-past 10 o'clock on Tuesday night, word of Mr. Gladman's passing being received by relatives in Launceston yesterday morning.
The Mercury Newspaper provided slightly different information.
The death occurred on Tuesday night of Mr. Thomas Gladman, aged 84, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. Ellorker, Mosman, N.S.W.
The late Mr. Gladman was a Tasmanian, born in Launceston in 1844, and spent all but the last few years in the Northern city. He was treasurer for the Launceston Corporation for 42 years, having entered the service when 25 years of age, and retired in 1911. Mr. Gladman had succeeded his father, the late Mr. George Humphrey Gladman, in the important position of city treasurer, he having been In office from 1858 until 1869; so that father and son guarded the finances of the city for more than half a century.
Shortly after his retirement Mr. Gladman and his wife went to the mainland. For a time they lived in Melbourne, and finally settled in Sydney. Mrs. Gladman passed away several years ago.
The late Mr. Thomas Gladman was of kindly, genial nature, and was held in the highest esteem by everyone who was associated with him. His last visit to Launceston was about three years ago, when he spent the summer with his only son, Mr. G. T. Gladman, The Metropole, Launceston, and renewed many old friendships. Mr. Arthur Gladman, formerly well known In banking circles in Launceston, and now resident at Scottsdale, is a brother of the late Mr. Thomas Gladman, and two sisters. Misses Annie and Alice Gladman, are resident in Launceston.
A short obituary was also published.
