I am trying to find if there are any Goodwin family in South Africa. My gt uncles Harry (possibly Henry) born1871 in Portsmouth and Albert born Templemore Ireland in 1878. Their father Henry, born in Suffolk, was a soldier married to Sarah nee Dodge from Dorset.
Harry and Albert went to S Africa in late 1800s, early 1900s. I know that Albert was in the army there as I have a photo of him in uniform.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Daphne.
