Richard GORST married Louisa WILSHIRE.
They had a daughter Mary Ann GORST around 1859 in Maldon.
Richard was a publican in and around the Goldfields region of Bealiba and Rheola in the 1870's.
Mary Ann married John CATTO in 1886 in Victoria.
Richard GORST died in an East Melbourne Hospital in 1886 aged 65 years and is buried in the Melbourne General Cemetery.
I have extensive details of the Catto family but can find very little on the Gorst family.
In particular when and where Louisa died and is buried.
When and where Richard and Louisa married (if they did)
Also an Ann WILSHIRE married William NUTT and was having children in the same area and same time. Wondering if she was a sister?
Any other details anyone could come up with would be much appreciated.
Regards Dale

Wishing to make contact with @Dalet to find out about the Catto family tree (I just visited Tyrie Mains and Memsie in Aberdeenshire and Rathen Church, where John Catto, my GGgrandfather, and his family originated. How to message people on this chat or to link myacestry family tree catto-smith .. Richard and Louisa Gorst were my GGGparents and I have found quite a lot about Louisa and Richard... here is a post I made copied from the Rheola Facebook page
My Great Great Grandfather Richard Gorst ran the Albion Hotel at Possum Hill with my GGGM Louisa Gorst (both from Ilford), having been successful in applying for one of the 28 licence applications. Their daughter Mary Anne Gorst (b1859 on the Maldon goldfields) married John Catto of Tyrie in 1886. Richard and Louisa had run the Albion Hotel at the Tunstall rush (near Bealiba, adjacent to now where one of her Great Grandsons Donald Eriwn lives at Emu - the last few remnants .. chimney rubble, old gin and whisky bottles / and discarded oyster-shells (which he somehow bought fresh to the goldfields from Geelong) now disappearing into the scrub). That venture lasted for about 24 months when Mary Ann was a child being reared in a rowdy gold fields hotel) and her future husband (my GGrandfather John Catto of Tyrie ran Cruikshanks deep lead mine and quite possible visited the Albion nearby. Richard and Louisa then moved onto Possum Hill. Despite Lousia's husband Richard having been granted a hotel licence, Louisa was caught and convicted at the Tarnagulla Police Court (along with Margaret Head), the Postmaster at Possum Hill, selling slygrog without a licence, in 1979. Loiusa was fined 25 Pounds, but opted to be imprisoned for a month in the Dunolly Lockup with the post master Frederick Treble (3 months)
After the rush petered out at Possum Hill, Richard and Louisa moved to Richmond Melbourne as rather wealthy retirees. However Richard suffered acute mental collapse / (dementia ?) and met a very sad and troubled demise in ~1886. Louisa died soon after of a long and painful illness ..both are buried in the Melbourne cemetery.
