Firstly what an amazing site this is!

I came across it trying to establish the family of Cecilia Tarrant nee Millar. Cecilia was married to John Arthur Tarrant between 1900-1906.  John Arthur Tarrant worked for A&S Watson. There seem to be a couple of Millar families in Kowloon and I wondered if anyone knew if Cecilia was connected to them?

John Arthur Tarrant born 30 Mar 1872 was interned in Stanley Internment Camp and was billeted in Block 4 Room 26 in the same room was a Agnes Jane Millar (21/May 1874) described as "of independent means". JohnTarrant gave occupation as Director Local Printing Press ?  In Camp but in different billet was Mrs Doris Millar (born 1907) married to Robbie Millar (POW) and her two children Robert (1940) and Gillian (1936). In a separate billet from Doris Millar was Rosaleen Millar  married to a Capt Millar RS

I would be interested to lean more about the Tarrant family and Millar family.

Best regards,
