Other Countries / Hongkong
« on: Friday 02 May 25 21:52 BST (UK)  »
I have discovered a family photograph giving the details at the bottom of the photo as 60 Queens Road East Hongkong. I believe the family of the lady that was photographed was in Hongkong in the early 1900s. Several children were born there and the man was involved as Foreman Diver in the Docks.  Any idea if the photo studio still exists or if any records of the shop still exist. Bit of a long shop I know. Any help would be appreciated.

He states that he was born on the 11th August 1833 and he signed the papers on the 10th August 1904 Aged 71 years. Hope that helps.

On Charles Greenfields naturalisation application he states he was born Ekesjo Smoland Sweden.

I  have spent a lot of time checking records for a  Baptistmal record for a Sarah Moss but no luck so far.Also tried locating a marriage record for a Sarah Milne. Of course it could be a second marriage for Sarah also.  We keep searching.

Just a further thought. Looking at the tombstone of Frances Hamilton I see it has the name of Moss on. Did members of the family do that, as do you think they knew about her previous marriage. See I misspelt Frances’s surname in my last message.  Thank you for the wills have had not had time to read.

Thank you for the information, definitely fits in with what I have long suspected. A distant relative of mine Louisa Jane Neale Udall married a Charles John Greenwood in Sydney on the 10/04/1877 on which he states he is a Batchelor and does not give his age.  I have a marriage certificate for a John CHarles ( Charles given as Surname) but his father as Charles Grenhaugen Merchant. He states his age as 31 although in the 1861 census he is 26 and son in law. On his journey to Australia he says he is 25. A man of mystery, I  now feel sure that Frances Mott was the first wife of my Charles greenfield and she went onto marry David Hamilton.  Who left who? That was was why I wanted to work out when Frances went to New Zealand.  As Charles Greenwood states he is a miner did he go off to the gold fields?

Hope that answers your questions.  Any other information definitely welcomed.

Seeking information about Frances Moss who married John Charles ( Granhangen) in 1857. Went to Australia about 1864. Went to New Zealand and I think married again.  Would like to connect the dots as to went to New Zealand.

Thank you everyone. I think that the Emma Ratcliffe who married aged 19 in 1834 is definitely my Amelia.  Re the 1851 census where I located Amelia with Joseph - Richards is Richardson. Joseph Richardson died in Loughborough in 1851 ( Nov 7th Leicestershire Journal) and other local papers give the details. The funeral was at St George’s Church I hope the Church records would confirm that. 
Amelia then married James Wetherell 2nd Dec 1852 but I have found a record that Amelia Wetherell died in December 1857 in Loughborough and then James Wetherell married a Mary Anne Baum on the 29th July 1858 at All Saints Loughborough.

Hope that helps with all the questions that were asked.
