I wonder if the 1853 marriage record will give you any more info?

QLD BDM
Mathew FITZPATRICK.....died  15/04/1890
Parents   Mary SMITH / John FITZPATRICK
Registration details:1890/C/468

Using BDM QLD and searching FITZPATRICK births with Mat(t)hew father...to 1891.....I do not see any.

Searching FITZGERALD deaths with father Mat(t)hew father......I do not see any.

Births might not be recorded at isolated locations.  Matthew FIRZPATRICK dies a trauma (unexpected) death......and there is someone around who can name his parents for the death certificate?.

That death certificate, 1890, might be useful to your research.

The death of Mary as listed by Wivenhoe in reply #5 in 1906 is in my opinion the correct one.

In this news item reporting the death at her daughter's home, Mrs Byrne, W A papers are requested to copy.  Seems likely that there were relatives of the KIERNAN/FITZPATRICK families still there.

Colonist of 56 years aged 84.
