Can anyone shed any light on the death of John Gast who mined on the Caledonian Diggings from possibly 1850. His last known address was Queenstown in 1866 when his last child was born. I can not find him in either the Victorian or NSW GRO's. He was an ex convict who came to the goldfields from Maitland in NSW. We know that his family continued to live in the area of Diamond Creek. His wife Catherine died in 1895. Could it be possible that he died in a mining accident in the mines and is it possible that some of these deaths were not registered. Regards Pauline
