Hi William
This could be who you are looking for:
Douglas River was gazetted as a locality in 1968. The name was in use by 1902. It is possibly derived from an 1830s Survey Department draughtsman named Henry Douglas.[2]
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_River,_Tasmania
Alternatively could he be a reformed convict?
