Here are mentions of Frederick Charles Mow Fung in the Jurors Lists (see http://gwulo.com/node/6706). I'm not sure if they're all the same person, or if they refer to different generations with the same name.
Frederick is referred to as a prominent Hong Kong resident, so I am surprised nobody said anything about him here.
In the interest of expanding the "web" established in Peter Hall's book and on Gwulo, I would like to point out that Frederick's sister is Elena, wife of William Francis Fincher. She is buried as Lena Fincher (Apr 17 1872 - Mar 12 1932) with her husband.
Here are some links about Frederick and the Chinese Australian Mow Fung family. Maybe someone from the family or Hong Kong will chime in.
Coincidentally, there is a 1882 photo of a house in Hong Kong "former occupied by Mr. Mow Fung," but this Mow Fung family arrived in Hong Kong around 1895, so probably no relations.
I've recently found out that Frederick Charles Chung Mow Fung was my dad's godfather. After a bit of digging, I believe I've determined that F.C Mow Fung had 3 older sisters, 2 younger sisters, and a younger brother. One of his younger sisters was a nurse who studied in London UK, and when she returned to Hong Kong she was involved in professionalising nursing, and came up with new chinese words to describe qualified nurses. F.C Mow Fung's grandson is currently a Reverand in Hong Kong.

The eldest son of Elena and William Fincher was Edward 'Teddie' Fincher. He was president of the Kowloon Cricket Club. He excelled at lawn tennis in the 1930's where there are plenty of mentions of him obliterating his opponents (including my grandfather) and winning various local tennis leagues. I'm very interested to trace any photos of Frederick Charles Mow Fung's wife from the 1940's/1950's if anyone here can assist.
Hello, I'm related to the Mow Fung Family(Elsie) and have been researching the family a while to find out about our history and heritage,and past. I'm chiming in from the USA. I've kept some of the family photos, films, letters and clothing that looked important and was wondering who else may have information to share, I have a Twitter and Facebook page if interested contact me.
