William Henry Goudge was born on 7 October 1905 at Parkes, New South Wales.1 He was the son of Frank P. Goudge and Margaret Ann Olliver.1

William on 4 March 1926:
On March 4th, 1926 an incident occurred that made news throughout the state. Albert Bollinger, along with two of his sons, Fred and Sid, were accidentally poisoned. William Goudge [reported in this article as Gaudge] was visiting the “Binalong” property at Gunningbland and prepared a meal for the four men to consume. However Goudge unknowingly used water that had been mixed with arsenic in order to poison trees. This water was used to boil potatoes and the four men were taken ill. According to the doctor’s statement, the men consumed enough poison to kill 60 people. Thankfully they all made a full recovery. Not only was physical health restored but also the relationship as William Goudge was groomsman at Fred Bollinger’s wedding to May Olliver Goudge, William’s sister.2



William Henry Goudge married Nancy Margaret Sykes at St. James' Church of England on Saturday, 26 January 1929 at Sydney. They were 23 and 24 respectively.1

William died on 17 December 1988 at Mudgee, New South Wales, at age 83.1 He was buried on 19 December 1988 at Orange Crematorium, in Orange, New South Wales.1
