Name	Dorothy GOODMAN [1]
Birth	Abt 1908	Devonport, Devon, England [1]
Gender	Female
Census	2 Apr 1911	26 Ford Hill, Devonport, Devon, England [1]
	William Lander, age 56 and a widower lived with the family. He was probably Florence's father.
Residence	Between 1920 and 1938	Hong Kong, China [2]
	Reginald, Florence, and Dorothy left England in 1920 bound for Hong Kong. It is assumed that they lived there at least until 1938 because they left England on two other occasions in 1925 and 1938 bound for China, but their "Country of Last Permanent Residence" was given as "Foreign Countries", and their "Country of Intended Future Permanent Residence" was China. On the first trip in 1920 their last permanent residence was England, and their destination was Hong Kong. Dorothy did not travel with them in 1938. Given that they travelled to Hong Kong just prior to the beginning of hostilities in WWII, one wonders if they were trapped in Hong Kong when the British surrendered it to the Japanese in 1941.

Note	1942 [4]
Dorothy's wereabouts are unknown after 1925, but she may have married Jack Alexander Williams in Hurstville, New South Wales, Australia in 1942. Dorothy's grandmother Henrietta Bobe was living in Hurstville when she died in 1930, and Dorothy's father Reginald Goodman died in Woollahra, New South Wales in 1942. Woolahra and Hurstville are both suburbs of Sydney. We know that Dorothy was alive and unmarried in 1930, because she was mentioned in her grandmother's will. The only problem with this possible marriage in NSW is that the bride's name was given as "Gladys Dorothy". No record has been found that would associate the name Gladys with this Dorothy, and there are many possible marriages for a Dorothy Goodman in the UK after 1930.
