| Bio | George Henry Dodd (16 January 1882 – 21 July 1957) was the son of Douglas William Dodd, a Minister of Religion in the Anglican Church from Eton, Buckinghamshire, and Elizabeth Saffrona (née Pruen). He competed for South Africa in the tennis event at the 1920 Summer Olympics where he took part in the men's singles and doubles event. George won the 1912 men's singles title at the South African Championships, defeating R.F. Le Sueur in the final in five sets. In addition, he was runner-up on five occasions (1914, 1922, 1925, 1928, 1929). George was married three times. His first marriage was to Grace Lilian Floquet (1887-1959) at St. Mary's Anglican Church in Pretoria on 10 August 1906. They divorced at Johannesburg on 25 January 1921. His second marriage was to Ann Catherine Boshoff; they were married at the Johannesburg Magistrate's Office on 1 October 1921. This marriage also ended up in a divorce on 26 October 1933. George's third and final marriage was to Agnes Ruth Joy Sackville-West (1903-1969), granddaughter of Lionel Sackville-West, 2nd Baron Sackville on 15 October 1938 in Johannesburg. They were married until his death in Durban on 21 July 1957 (aged 74). |
