Looks like he died at the medical facilities at the Clonmel workhouse. Cause of death appears to be Pneumonia.

Roger -

Thanks a lot for the reply and infromation

The mystery  remains-why he returned home to Ireland with family still in Australia

Appreciate the reponse

Hi moranding,
Do you know what year Maurice returned to Ireland?
Using the death record of 1897 I have found records of him as a Pig Drover, a Drover etc.

I think I have him leaving Victoria about 1866 after his 3rd child was born

I found other  refernces for Prison terms,and occupation cattledrover- which is possibly the work he did in Victoria.Later occuapation as tramp and no fixed address

Seems a rather sad story..I am resaerching for a friend - probably  will just say- died Clonmel hospital and I will leave out the other detail

It looks as though some of his siblings also came to Victoria

Thankyou

Hi, yes that is what I found.
Yes it's sad.
