Several records spell his surname 'Dankworth', but from the comments below 'Dankwerth' looks to be the correct spelling.

The page at https://gwulo.com/node/23955 mentions him as 'G.C. Dankworth', but others just use George, so I'm not sure if he had a middle name or not.

William migrated to Hong Kong around 1886 and worked as a commission agent.

In 1891 he purchased/ bought into Brown Jones and Co funeral directors.

He had 9 children.

What I am looking for is the mother of the children / his wife.  He was married in 1922 when he completed a passenger declaration into Canada and stated that his wife was home at Morrison Hill Road, Hong Kong.

He died in Government Hospital in 1934.
