Notes	One of the most important early colonial musicians. He and his wife and two eldest children arrived in Hobart in 1822. Deane was insolvent by the start of 1836, and with a now larger family, left Hobart for Sydney in April. Early in 1844, the Deanes returned to Hobart, apparently intending to remain there permanently, but were back in New South Wales early in 1845 when Deane purchased a large house, Broughton Hall. Deane's last concert took place in Sydney on 7 December 1849, on which occasion The Sydney Herald encouraged attendance, since "Mr. Deane, the oldest musician in the southern hemisphere, and a colonist of twenty-eight years standing, from his perseverance, deserves encouragement". He died 10 days later.
