Mildred Dibden was a missionary with the evangelical Anglican Bible Churchmen's Missionary Society. She first came to Hong Kong in 1931, but had to go home because of a near-fatal bout of malaria. She had noticed the plight of Hong Kong's abandoned children, and was determined to help them, so she returned to the Colony in 1936 and opened orphanges in various locations including Cheung Chao. In 1940 she moved into an estate in Fanling and kept this home open, with the assitance of Ruth Little and Chinese staff, throughout the Japanese occupation.

I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book. [UPDATE: That project is now finished.]

Most mentions of H. E. Wodehouse are in connection with his son, the author P G Wodehouse. But I'm interested in H. E. because of his work as a magistrate in Hong Kong. I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book.

I've got one possible source, but if you know of any other photos, please let me know.

I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book. A Barrister, he was appointed as Police Magistrate in 1867 [1], and left in 1870 [4].

There aren't any results for goodlake in the photo search at HKPRO, and he didn't serve with Legco. No relevant results for goodlake hong kong in the UKNA.

He is mentioned in several family trees [2], but it isn't clear he is a closely related to any of them.
