Discharged 07 December 1914 in England
Resided at 75 Victoria Street, London, SW in October 1919
Right Rev. Dr. Golding-Bird, Bishop of Kalgoorlie, W.A. Dr. Golding-Bird went from his position as Dean of Newcastle to that of Bishop of Kalgoorlie in 1914, to all appearances a man in the best of health and prime of life and ability. Now, after five years, he has found it absolutely necessary to retire, though he has only done so after a two years' struggle against the orders of his medical advisers.
The dust and the heat have played havoc with the Bishop's throat, which is scarcely to he wondered at. Those who know something of the West know, too, how very much conditions have altered within the last few years, and It Is said that the Bishop would have struggled on if he had only himself to consult, but that he has thought of the interests of his diocese.
The Bishop was ordained in 1887 by the Bishop of St. Alban's, England, and among the several interesting positions he has held was that of Dean of the Anglican Church in South America in 1907 and 1908. From 1909 to 1914. as Dean of Newcastle, his public utterance will be well remembered.
1936 - The Right Rev. C. H. Golding-Bird,formerly Bishop of Kalgoorlie and now Assistant-Bishop of Guildford and Archdeacon of Dorking (England) has been appointed Archdeacon of Surrey.
1953 - The Right Rev. C. H. GoldingBird, Assistant Bishop of Guildford, England, since 1930. is resigning for reasons of health.Bishop Golding-Bird was consecrated Bishop of Kalgoorlie in 1914.
