Death certificate informant was John Felix Morgan, nephew.
Michael must have come to his sister Alice and her family in Australia to die.
Death certificate states he died of Tuberculosis and was in the Colony of Victoria for 6 months from Kimberley, South Africa. I don't yet know what year he went there or what he did there but from his will, it seems he made quite a bit of money. Perhaps miner.
