[mellishbute]

Can anyone help me find copies of British Subjects that were born, married or died in Hong Kong during the 1860's - 1880's?

looking of members of the Mellish Family, Agnes Maria born 1865, Alice Louise born  1868, Cecil Everard born 1872.

Marriage of Edward Mellish to Sarah Waterworth 1863 and possible death of Sarah (Waterworth) Mellish about 1872-78.

Also looking to find out why the family were in Hong Kong at this time.  Edward Mellish was a bill broker/discount broker/banker.

Sorry, confusing things there.  The overseas births, marriages, and death indexes are at 1837online, The Times is seperate.  I have access through Cambridgeshire Libraries with my library card.
