Born at Cheltenham, England on 14 September 1872, he emigrated to Winnipeg in 1893 and found work at the Manitoba Hotel on Main Street. He took up photography in 1894 as an apprentice of Charles Allbutt. He opened the Goodall Photo Company, at the corner of Logan Avenue and Main Street, in 1897. He moved the studio twice before ending up in premises on Carlton Street, in 1946, that remained his base of operation until retirement in 1964. On 11 December 1902, he married Margret Thorsteinson (1881-1971) of Riverton. They had two children: Wilfred Goodall and Dinah Goodall (wife of William A. Sneesby). He died at Winnipeg on 15 September 1970 and was buried in Elmwood Cemetery.
