Lala Edith Mary Campbell nee Goodison d. Bougainville 14 March 1966
Lala was the daughter of the merchant John R Goodison and Edith Mary Nicholson, who is said to have been born in Bendigo about 1895. She married Claude Campbell in Rabaul on 22 February 1925. She and her husband were evacuated from Bougainville by US submarine on New Year's eve 1942. I have her death certificate. But I cannot trace her birth. Spelling may be a problem! Might someone be able to assist me, please ? Thanks Philip

Hi Philip,
Lots of mentions on Trove digitized newspapers, for this family. Particularly in mid 1907, when both of Lala’s, GOODISSON parent’s, died.

Dear Mary
Thank you! I have tried every combination of spelling i can think of, but cannot fine Lala's BDM entry- I wonder why ? But the Bendigo Advertiser will suffice. Again, thanks!
