There's an A. Mann listed in the Blue Book for 1886, appointed 17th April 1886 as Assistant Foreman in the Fire Brigade on an annual salary of $72. He doesn't appear in the books for 1884/5 or 1887/8.

Do you know if he stayed on in Hong Kong?

There's also a gravestone that may or may not be related:

23---/08/10- In loveing remembrance/ of/ Isabella G Burness/ a native of Laurencekirk/ Kincardineshire/ beloved wife of/ inspector A Mann/ HKP/ who departed this life/ February 14th 1898/ aged 34 years/ Whatever we fondly call our ?/ belongs to heaven's great ?/ the blessings lent us for a day/ are soon to be restored# 5983

I believe Alfred Mann was a police officer from 1885 - 1887. My grandmothers Marriage certicate states that 1909 he was a prison warder in Singapore.

With Reference to the gravestone, Isabella G Burness was the wife of Aeneas Mann who was as you state a Police inspector.

Many thanks for trying to help.
