Thomas Southorn
Wilfrid Thomas Southorn (1879–1957) (Chinese Translated Name: 修頓, Old Translated Name:蕭敦), known as Tom, was a British colonial administrator, spending the large part of career in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). He was the Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong from 1925–1936 and served as Acting Administrator of the colony from February to March 1930 and from May to September 1935, and then in November the same year, basically at either end of the tenure of Sir William Peel as Governor. His official (summer) residence was Mountain Lodge.〔Out and about - Bella Southorn's stories reflect the life she loved as the wife of a colonial civil servant, SCMP Post Magazine, Jason Wordie, 24 Apr 2011〕
In 1921 he married author Bella Sidney Woolf (1877–1960), whom he met through her (later) more famous brother Leonard Woolf, when the two men were colleagues in Ceylon. In 1904, then a humble 'Office Assistant', Southorn had met Leonard Woolf on his arrival in Ceylon from England.〔〔(Letter in Daily News, Sri Lanka, quoting Leonard Woolf's biography )〕
In 1936, he was made Governor of The Gambia, notably describing the colony as "a geographical and economic absurdity".〔
