It may not be exactly what you are after, but there are a number of streets
in East Launceston which are named for the Tulloch Scott family: Tulloch
Street itself, Rupert Street (for Captain Samuel Tulloch's grandson) and
Lanoma Street (for his granddaughter).

Captain Tulloch apparently owned the land where these streets now run. He
also owned the "Dunedin" property at St. Leonards, now in the hands of
Angus Scott (a rellie of mine, as it turns out <g>).

This information is taken from "History in our Streets" by J. and D. Morris
(Regal Press, Launceston, 1988).

I can transcribe the relevant entries for these streets and send them to
you if you like.
