Christine Corra (Genders) was my Mother. Unfortunately she died on November 11th 2007 - Remembrance Day which we all thought was very appropriate given her wartime history. She always said she lived far longer than she anticipated given her wartime internment in Stanley with her Mother. Her Father Henry Corra was in Sham Shui Po. Her Brother was evacuated to the US. I don't know what you remember about her or what you wish to know. Her family had a very long history in Hongkong and, indeed, I was born there in 1950. I am happy to give you as much information as you want. I am visiting Hongkong for a few days in December. You can also email me directly at ponsford.cuckfield@gmail.com if you prefer.

Bob Tatz - Christine Corra
Hi Bob
Christine Corra (Genders) was my Mother. Unfortunately she died on November 11th 2007 - Remembrance Day which we all thought was very appropriate given her wartime history. She always said she lived far longer than she anticipated given her wartime internment in Stanley with her Mother. Her Father Henry Corra was in Sham Shui Po. Her Brother was evacuated to the US. I don't know what you remember about her or what you wish to know. Her family had a very long history in Hongkong and, indeed, I was born there in 1950. I am happy to give you as much information as you want. I am visiting Hongkong for a few days in December. You can also email me directly at ponsford.cuckfield@gmail.com if you prefer.
