re: Alfred Bryer
A search for "Bryer" in the local newspapers didn't return any matches.
You can find him in several of the Jurors Lists, but not all. He first appears in the 1898 list, and is on the lists for 1899 to 1907 with the exception of 1902. Do you know if he was away from Hong Kong that year?
Regards, David
PS He might be on later lists too, but 1907 is as far as we've got.
Alfred Bryer
Son of Alfred Bryer and Mary Hewitt Bryer, who was the daughter of Thomas Hewitt and Mary Thalia Eaton. The Hewitt family was a well-to-do farming family in Derbyshire. Alfred (Senior) became an apprentice farmer with his uncle John Bryer. When Alfred died in 1876 he left a sizeable estate, and his widow, Mary used the money to educate the children; Mary, Sarah, Louisa, Alfred and Edward Trafford. In 1891 Alfred (age 18) was listed as an architect's pupil, living with his mother Mary and sister Louisa in Quarndon, Derby. Mary (the mother) died in 1907 and left an estate of 2894 pounds. In 1917 Mary, Alfred's oldest sister bought Oaklands, Vines Lane, Hildenborough, Kent, possibly on behalf of her brothers and sisters. Louisa was a missionary in China for over 30 years and seems to have visited her brother Alfred from time to time. She died at New Westminster, BC in 1958 where she lived with her brother Edward and his wife Carrie.
Also built Tanderagee.

I am interested in learning more about Alfred Bryer, who was my grandmother's first cousin. He was born in Quarndon, Derby and attended Trent College. Do you know anything more about him?
