There is an interesting article (and a pic) of a Mr Thomas GOODMAN born 1821 in Nottingham England, where he apprenticed in the Baker and Confectioner business. He arrived in NZ in 1843 and eventually ended up in Motueka in 1867 where he started his own bakery business. Retired in 1903. Died 1905

Other articles etc found though, say Thomas GOODMAN was born leicestershire, rather than Nottinghamshire.
If you google: "Thomas GOODMAN" Motueka there is a lot of information to be found
