Robert George Liveing is my 3rd Cousin one generation removed and not well known to me untill Jill alerted me to his Service in HK (thank you Jill)
Robert has some very interesting ancestors, work back from his file on my website www.thekingscandlesticks.com/webs/pedigrees/7057.html
The family were Harwich Essex fishermen from the late 17th C, then owned Packet Boats running to Europe, often on contract the the British Post Office.
So the sea was in Robert's blood
Robert's grand father and grand uncles distinguished themselves in medicine and science, his father also in the Royal Artillery
But the most interesting of all the Liveings was Robert's Gt Gt Grandmother Harriet Harrold.
See some 90 letters about the trails & tribulations of life in this Harwich family in the 1820's & 30s. http://www.thekingscandlesticks.com/webs/pedigrees/231.html
