My gg grandmother, Catherine DOUGLAS lived in Beechworth from 1853 to 1870. Her husband William DOUGLAS was a gold miner and Catherine ran a Tea House of some description to help support her large family. When she married in 1854 her occupation was "Refreshment Inn Keeper" and her place of residence was Snake Valley. The 1857 Oven's Directory shows her as "selling refreshments" at Sebastopol Flat near Beechworth. Another member of the family apparently visited the Beechworth area some years ago (10-20 years ago?) and saw the faded name "Catherine DOUGLAS" on the front of a building which she used as her refreshment rooms. Sadly no-one can remember who it was that visited the area, exactly when this happened, or where the shop was. It may have been in Beechworth or perhaps in nearby Stanley (formerly Snake Valley as I understand). If anyone knows of the possible location of these tea rooms, or can suggest a reference that might help I would be grateful. Perhaps it may appear on early photographs of Beechworth or Stanley.
