For more information on Elizabeth's family please check out the above link.

F A Ford moved to Katandra in 1876 and by 1881 he had built a weatherboard house and cropped 160 acres on his selection of 319 acres named "Gorserella". That year he also had an accident and put him out of action for 4 months.

"Gorserella" was a centre of many community activities and musical evenings.

More information can be found in "Early Families of Shepparton and District" published by the Shepparton Family History Group in 1998.
