There is no evidence that this Matthew is the one that married Elizabeth Jane Hill (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hill-57948) in Cornwall in 1891. Therefore she has been removed in order to attach her to the correct husband. Also removed their son Garnet Keam-2 born in Cornwall.

Matthew Keam died young.
aged 7 months and was buried at Burra Cemetery on 30 May 1863. https://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_hikashop&view=product&layout=show&uid=62233&coid=cemeteries&cid=4

His death was recorded as Matthew Henry Kean on 30 May 1863 at Kooringa. son of James Kean, index says age 1 month (I suspect poor transcription of handwriting to the index). Death register Burra 16/213 https://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_hikashop&view=product&layout=show&uid=23262&coid=death&cid=5
