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:

re: Alfred Mann
Any idea if there's a connection between Alfred and David Mann (http://gwulo.com/node/16269), who was interned at Stanley during WW2.

Alfred Mann
Hi David
Could be David, I have been trying to trace the Alfred Mann genealogy for many years and have not been very successful. Sorry I cannot be more helpful

A.Mann 1886
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.
