He first appears in Hong Kong on the 1915 Jurors List:

c Hosie Edward Lumsden   Dock Co   Kowloon docks

He was a long-term resident, appearing in every Jurors List up to and including 1941. He continued working for the Dock Company, but there were minor changes in the lists that followed:

  • 1916: His position is shown - he is an Accountant
  • 1921: He's been promoted to Acting Secretary
  • 1922: He must have done well, as he became Secretary
  • 1923: The company name becomes HK. Whampoa Dock Co.
  • 1928: The company name is updated again to H.K. & Whampoa Dock Co., Ld.
  • 1930: His address is given as 'On premises'

He was caught here in the fighting, and next appears on the 1942 list of civilian internees:

Hosie E L 57 Secretary

That means he spent the occupation years interned at Stanley Camp, and puts his date of birth at c. 1885.

He'd have been 60 or older at the Japanese surrender, so I guess he'd have retired and returned home.

He died in Aberdeen, Scotland, on 3 Jan 1971 (Carl Smith card 110493).

Scotlands People

Edward Lumsden Hosie (mother's maiden name Barron) Birth registered 1884 in Midmar

[Midmar is in Aberdeeenshire]

The death registered in Aberdeen in 1971 of Edward Lumsden Hosie gives his age at death as 36 (Scotlands People) If this is a  transcription error and the age was in fact  86 then it would tie in with the birthdate of 1884

The 1891 Census shows Edward L Hosie aged 6 in Old Machar Aberdeenshire and the 1911 census shows him in Old Machar aged 26

The only record of and Edward Hosie born between 1930 and 194o is a George Edward Hosie born 1033 in Pollokshields

The death in 1971 seems to be correct but with a transcription error
