career:

An emissary of the great horticulturist S.B. Williams of London; he is said to have been in the employ of Sander & Sons at St Albans too. In 1882 he settled at Port Moresby, SE. New Guinea, as a store-keeper; he speculated in land and claimed to have bought 17.000 acres at about one penny per acre! Many of his travelling tours were made in company with Rev. MacFarlane (see there) and with Hunstein (see there).

Combretum goldieanum F.v.M. was named after him.
