This one we have. Died on 1st, registered on 5th and buried 7th seems a bit odd:

1841 Death - Registration District of Keynsham - Sub-district of Oldland in the County of Gloucester
No 157 - First of February 1841 at Mount Hill Hamlet of Oldland - Betty Willmott - Female - 88 years - Widow of Giles Willmott Coal Miner - Gradual Decay - The Mark X of Ann Peacock Present at Death Warmley Hill Hamlet of Oldland - Fifth of February 1841 - Hy Mills Grace Registrar

7 ? Feb 1841 Betty Wilmot 88, Bitton, St Mary, bur.

I doubt he made it back to England but this is the last trace found:

Morning Chronicle (Sydney, NSW : 1843-1846) - Saturday 22 March 1845 p.4
CONDITIONAL PARDONS DATED 1st FEB 1845
Wilmot Joseph, Vittoria
