Welcome to Rootschat.

Do you have reason to believe he was born in Australia?

He died where?

Do you have marriage and death certificates for him?

I see that Mary Ann Hurran was a convict, was Michael, also?

Ok, so he was born in UK in 1823 and had been in the colony for 26 years.

He should have arrived in 1851.

Looks like he was a convict:

Departure date: 24 Sep 1851
Departure port: Queenstown
Ship: Rodney (2)
Voyage number: 343
Index number: 14228

The record says he was aged 24 and was a waiter.
