He afterwards went to the Forest Creek diggings, and then to Bendigo where he worked in Ironbark Gully, and stayed there about seven years. He was next employed for three years in the Mallee country. About 1871 he went to New Zealand and engaged in farming there, but returned to Melbourne in 1877, and took up a selection in Gippsland, where he remained until 1887 when he came back to Melbourne and purchased the Beach Hotel at Williamstown, containing about ten rooms, where he has since commanded a steady trade.” He died in 1888 at the Alfred Hospital, Prahan, aged 53. In Ref.No. 3241 George’s father is shown as Matthew Charles Middleditch. There were ten living children when George died, and their ages were as follows: Lizzie (later Pullen) 23 years, George 21, Tom 19, Kitty (later Carey) 18, Maud 14, Arthur 12, Bert 9, Teanie (later Pike) 6, Margaret (later Day) 3.
