Death certificates usually list a place of birth and how long the person has been living in the colonies. Get in touch with South Australian Historical Society or Mortlock Library, they should be able to give you tips. Alison Gregory

South Australian death certificates for that period do not provide the same information as those from Queensland, NSW and Victoria. I wasted money on the death certificate for my great grandfather and the only information on it was his name, place and date of death which I already knew, and the cause of death which was not of particular relevance to me given his considerable age at date of death.
