Title: O'HARA FAMILY IN HONG KONG
Post by: CarolBurns on Saturday 29 October 16 12:16 BST (UK)

I am trying to find more information on RANDOLPH O'HARA born 21 Sept 1940 to Edward Clarence O'Hara and Mary Johannes
He was born in Burma and went to live in Hong Kong. He married Margaret in 1959 - I think that could have been in Burma rather than Hong Kong and they had 2 daughters Jean and Diana. Randolph wrote a few books regarding his life in Burma and his memories before he died in 2011 in Hong Kong.
Randolph is my daughters 2nd cousin 1x removed and we would like to see if we can link the daughters and their families to the large family we have found so far ... some still in Burma, some in Australia and also UK
Any advice on where to look for them would be a help
TIA

A long shot but I wonder if any of the organisations mentioned in this might have a contact address for his widow:

Perhaps try contacting Hong Kong Ballet to see if there might be any contact with widow or daughters?

And here?
