This is William Devonshire, an "early Hobart resident" according to the notes on the back of this photo. I suppose this is the guy who gave Devonshire Street its name. He first shows up in Hobart in the 1870 census. He was born in England in 1839, came to this country in 1866. Beyond that I don't know anything about him and don't particularly want to. I wouldn't have scanned this photo at all if John and Mary McDaniel hadn't lived on Devonshire Street.
